Our sweet Susie was very touched by Anna’s story (Anna Ortega, AZ). They share many similarities, both being ten and having glial (Glioma) tumor’s. Anna’s is on her brain stem and considered fatal.
Susie wanted so badly to bear her testimony today. She saw her NeuroOpthamologist up at the Moran Eye Center on Friday. We were scolded (and strongly encouraged to still meet with Oncologists) but informed that Susie’s brain tumor was markedly better with less swelling and inflammation.
She was tested for eye correction so that she might wear glasses again but the vision is SO different, that it will not be easy. “The fact that her eyes don’t register the double vision as profoundly as it is suggests that she has had this tumor for much longer than originally suspected.”
Joe and I wish to thank you for your faith and prayers in Susie’s behalf.

Remember that time that (Lupus and) migraines were getting the best of you, and so your sweetheart bundled the kids in the car to take them on an early morning hike, so you could rest, and they just happened to run into someone you would love to meet…oh wait,
that was this morning!
Happy Mother’s Day to Harriet, from a distance.
(Thankful to Susie who wanted a picture with Elder Dieter Uchtdorf and his wife, Harriet).

🌸Friends,
THANK YOU for your prayers today.
All went well. 💕
The Oncologist pointed out the unusually large size and place (contained in the right eye orbit) of Susannah’s tumor.
Inoperable and unbiopsiable.
MRIs spaced over three months show the tumor to have not grown in size and this is good news, as it allows us time to study treatment options.
Thank you again for your prayers. We are walking in faith and feel your support.

Our family is making choices towards health and to support Susie (with her brain tumor), we are going for periods of time without sugar (candies, sweets, sodas, etc.)…appetite is suppressed, emotions peaceful, and sleep better.
Will you join us?
Go sugar free.
