6 April - Catching Up

I haven't posted to our blog for a while so it's time to catch up! Since the last post, we've been skiing to Devil's Head ski resort where everyone had a great time, we celebrated Sam's fifth birthday, and Sarah and I flew to New York for a little 4 day get-away while the boys stayed with my parents in Chicago. So, quite an exciting two months for all!
Sarah is doing well, although some new questions have recently emerged: a brain scan showed some growth of her pituitary tumor (only along one axis) and we are trying to figure out what we should do about that; and Sarah has been having gall bladder attacks which cause some pain after heavier meals. Based on a recent ultrasound there are no stones (or tumors) causing the issue and we're not sure it is cancer-related. Also trying to figure out what the next steps are for that. Overall, in our frame of reference that includes the life-threatening tumors in Sarah's liver last year, these two issues are concerning but not causing high anxiety at this point. For now, we will be confering with Sarah's doctors to see what the options are.
