Spring Break in Salt Lake with family.
Susie has an early MRI and meets new Oncologist, Dr. Luke Maese.
Good news is that tumor, while large, is stable on Avastin. No new growth. (Slight decline in one angle.)
Grateful for your prayers! 💕
Activities while getting Avastin. We took up coloring Easter pages.
While heading down to the Third Floor and listening to soothing piano music, a “Code Blue” alert had doors opening and nurses running.
Said a prayer for Room 300-something.
Alert Cancelled. Hope all is well.
Beautiful ceilings remind me of Dickinson:
“Hope” is the thing with feathers – (314)
BY EMILY DICKINSON
“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all-…
Room 9 gets “Visitors” who bring treats!

Tests, tests, and more eye tests. Susie is super patient.
Things look GOOD!
Right Optic Nerve swelling greatly reduced since starting Avastin in January.
Some Field of Vision restored.
(Typical tween fascination with all things cellular).
Best news report ever at the Moran Eye Center!
Thank you for your continued support and prayers.💕
LONG day of tests followed at Primary Children Hospital. Port access and tests began at 3:00 p.m.
Met with our favorite doctor briefly—Dr. Whipple (who reminds Susie of Winslow Schott from Supergirl?).
Quick visit from Dr. Carol Bruggers, who confirmed the good reports.
All tests look good.
Avastin started at 5:00 p.m.
Thankful for prayers answered. 🙏🏼
