SMASHED!!! for now. . .

We just got back from our appointment with our oncologist and my MRI showed no remaining signs of disease! It's gone! The words now are still "cautious optimism" as we'll still need regular checkups to see if the cancer comes back for the next few years. But for now, we're all in the clear! We smashed that bugger with all of your help! I can't write much more right now, but thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you for all of your support. We'll keep you posted on any future plans, but for now, it looks like we'll be headed back up to Whitehorse at the end of the month sometime. More Hadley photos and other stories to come. . . . Again - thank you. We couldn't have gotten through this without you.

Much, much love . . .

GREAT NEWS! Brianna called us right away. She knew we had our fingers crossed all weekend which was making things like brushing our teeth kinda tricky!! Enjoy getting back home. Here is a quote that came to mind as i was reading your blog and friends/family comments.

"Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake."
-Henry David Thoreau

It feels like you have been dreaming of this day and now you get to live it. You and Meghan are amazing people. Hadley is a lucky girl!
