"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

One More Week
We hope to have a definitive diagnosis after re-imaging Kaitlyn this coming Friday. It has been a long summer and the wait has been tough. Now we are praying that not only will we know exactly what she's facing - tumor, MS, or one-time lesion - and how to combat it, but also that it might be that one-time lesion option. If it is diagnosed as ADEM (the one-time lesion), then it should be well into the self-resolving stage by now and will not occur again in her lifetime. If it is a tumor, it should be more pronounced, and if it's MS/demyelinating, then we'll probably see another lesion. Finally, if there is no change, we may be asked to wait a few more months. I can't even begin to tell you what that might be like, but it's still better than brain surgery. I'll post again after Friday. Thank you for all your prayers!
