Love and Recovery

from Paul:

Rose is bouncing back.  Since the doctors were able to do something this
time when they opened her up,  the recovery has involved more pain and more
headaches.

What appeared to be a growing tumor in her cerebellum,  proved to be all
dead tissue as a result of her gama-knife treat for a tumor in that area in
2012  ...  2/3 necrosis and 1/3 SNUC.
SNUC is the same wicked tumor that first appeared in the front part of her
brain and nasal area in June of 2010.  We were hoping for 100% necrosis.

The scan after surgery indicated that all is clear.  That means the scan did
not pick up any living cells of the SNUC tumor throughout her brain.  That
also means that Rosie has earned her second "new lease on life".  Thanks be
to God and the many prayers. 

She is feeling better and better every day.  Daughter Allie spent 8 days
assisting the healing process.  We are celebrating Valentine's Day with
some dear friends by going out for a nice dinner and some good music (the
one and only Ladysmith Black Mambazo).

Rose is an inspiration ... we give thanks.

Paul
