Status Quo

Mike is not any better. He is not any worse, but we were really hoping to see some improvement by now. Things are status quo, sort of. We have had some brief moments when Mike has felt really good. We have also had a ton of time when he has felt absolutely awful. But for now, status quo is better than a decline, and we will take it.

Mike is having a brain and spine MRI this Thursday, and I am posting to shamelessly solicit your prayers and positive thoughts. We need them all. I will post as soon as we get the results.

P.S. Today is Mike’s birthday. He is now 34! Here is to hoping for a better year of life. Happy Birthday, My Love.

Happy Birthday to Mike!

Hi Liz,

Thanks for the update. I check here to see how things are going and although I of course hope that you'll get good news, I'm happy that at least it's the status quo and that some good moments are mixed in. I hope the good moments will start to surpass the rest. Sending a ton of positive thoughts and prayers out for Mike's MRI on Thursday. As ever, Carver

Liz,

I'm a day late and a dollar short as usual.

Belated Happy Birthday, Mike (34- wow!)

I'm saying prayers right now, lighting a candle and sending positive thoughts your way.

Please let us know what the results of the MRI are. Status quo is much better than progression (but you know that).

Stay Strong

Many prayers your way for some relief from this awful disease. I have kept up on your blog, as your constant run-ins with the beast seem to somewhat mirror ours where the ups and downs are. My Brian will be 35 on Friday, and melanoma has just beat him down. He is so tired of being sick, and we are all worn down by this disease

But we keep up the fight. We keep praying for healing. And we will pray for you too.

Hi Liz, happy birthday Mike !!!
Frank turned 31 on July 7th.
I'm glad things are not too bad. Sometimes it takes time till all these meds start working. Hope things will get better and better with every day that will pass. Sometimes waiting is the most painful thing.
Wishing you the best and I'll call you soon to catch up.
Love,
Kristel and Frank
