Jen’s Update: Another MRI next Monday

MRI Scheduled, Crazy Buffalo Relatives Visiting Entry by T.R. from Ohio     Greetings Jen Nation! The new MRI is scheduled at UAB for next Monday, May 19. Come what may, hopefully it will be conclusive enough to allow definitive treatment moving forward. My sister is hanging in there, though the uncertainty has to be maddening. Based on what she and Mom tell me, she’s not showing the sustained improvement we’d hope to suggest the radio-venom was highly effective. It sometimes feels absurd telling her to “hang in there”, because truthfully I cannot imagine the pain and frustration she’s enduring everyday. I really wish we could trade places for a week to give her some relief, but that’s not God’s plan. But we will keep thinking positively — who knows what we’ll learn next week! My aunts Ellen & Marie and cousin Smitter are visiting Tennessee this week, which will give everyone a boost of joy and strength. I’ll be heading down the second half of the week myself to make sure no one makes too much fun of their Northern accents — ha ha! But we feel you all from afar and continue to appreciate your prayers and support. You know ours are always with you too! – TRH
