Scan results and more!

OK, so Jason went in and had scans redone on January 19th and 20th. The results are in and he is still in remission. The tumor markers are still at 0, or in the normal range. The big tumor is whats called cavitating lesions, basically meaning that it is collasping in on itself and disapearing. There is a 1 cm something on his lower right lung. They do not know what it is. It goes to say that it is probably not cancerous because his tumor markers are still normal. They will watch it and we go back for scans in March. If it has grown they will biopsy it or remove it, if it has resolved, stayed the same, or shurnk we will just keep an eye on it.
Jason went to physical therapy last Monday to start working to get strength in his hip and lower back. Unfortunately we think he might have messed up his right knee and hopefully we will find out more this week.
Jason and myself are looking for jobs, Jason full time and me part- time. So if you hear of anything let us know!
We went to Austin this weekend for PaBill's 80th Birthday party. It turned out well and I think everyone had a good time. Well , we have physical therapy again tomorrow. Can you believe it is already February. Time goes so quickly.
I'll update more later!!!

I have not abandoned you!!

So, I have not posted since we got the news of Jason being in remission. So far still good, we go back January 20th for test and then the 21st for results. Keep praying for us for the next 10 years or so.

I really just wanted to let you all know that we had a wonderful Christmas, we went up to Austin the weekend before. We went to church with Gracie, hung out with Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles. It was a good time. Christmas was awesome this year. It keeps getting more fun the older Ronan gets. He was opening presents on Christmas morning and when he got through unwrapping one he would stand up and say more while doing the sign for it. It was way cute. We also had a fantastic New Year. We had a little get together with some friends over. Set off fireworks ate good food and just got to relax.

Our friends that we asked you all to pray for got the good news that Dave is also in remission. Please continue the prayers for them as well.

With the welcoming of the New Year I took a few minutes and thought about what really happened to my family in 2009. Im not just talking about Jason, but my entire extended family..then I take a deep breath and smile...because we survived it all.
I like the quiet that my life has gone back to. Thinking about putting Ronan into a Mother"s Day out program a couple days a week, Jason and myself finding jobs. I like that the most pressing matters of my day are trying to start potty training Ronan and getting him ready for his "Big Boy Bed.".
In 2009 as in all years past and future God is good, the trick is believing that in the worst of times as well as the good.
I'll leave you all until the 21st with best wishes to you and yours for a fantastic year full of wonderful possibilites.

Love you all, Kimmy
