To God be the Glory
~MRI
The Dillon girls have great reason to celebrate and rejoice today! Kate's MRI came back clear! I received a call at 11:00 this morning from the nurse practitioner updating us on yesterday's scan of Kate's brain and spine. She said everything looked fine. Her words brought tears of relief and rejoicing. Once again God has poured out his grace and mercy and answered your/our cries on Kate's behalf.
PRAISE for an incredible grace gift!!!! Thank you for praying and for waiting upon the Lord with us.
PRAISE that Kate's energy and strength is returning. She was on the go all weekend with friends and activities. She even had extra energy to bake and decorate Easter cookies to take to the staff at the oncology clinic.
PRAISE for the energy and motivation Kate has for her school work and her senior project. She amazes me at the zest and enthusiasm with which she is approaching these tasks.
Where to from here?
Tumor board will not meet for the next two Monday's due to various members being out of town. When they meet again everyone will give their insight and project what is next. Again, as far as Kate's neuro-oncologist is concerned there will be no more high dose chemo/stem cell rescues, given the risk of a repeat encounter with the BK virus. Kate's radiation oncologist said early on after the recurrence of Kate's cancer, that he wanted to do some brain/spine radiation when all other treatment was complete. The concern that radiation brings is further hearing loss. This will be brought to the table later in April when tumor board reconvenes to determine what is next.
REQUEST- please ask for continued wisdom and direction for Kate's medical team.
REQUEST - please continue to ask for Kate's hearing, as the sensory neural loss could still improve some or decrease more in the next little while.
~TRACK MEET
Kate, Grammie and I, and even Grace were cheering Maggie on at her track meet this afternoon, a beautiful 75 degree sunny day. Maggie who puts a lot of energy and passion into all she does, did a great job. What a competitive spirit our sweet Maggie has:)
PRAISE for the health and vibrancy of life God has given Maggie.
My friends, your prayers carried us through the MRI and through the time of waiting. Be amazed and encouraged by the grace God has shown us in hearing your requests on Kate's behalf for this MRI.
Amazed by Grace,
Elaine

Fantastic news! Then to see the very next day that Kate is now forging ahead to help others experiencing cancer is inspiring! Those Blankets of Love will be a cozy hug to patients that receive them. I'm hooking you up BIG time with some donations. The three of you are God's angels on earth.
Love ya'
