    Update of Steven

    Steven (my son) was started on a new investigational treatment study at Duke in December. He is taking daily low dose oral chemo and going to Duke every other week for intravenous treatments. Last week he had MRI's and CAT Scans to see how the treatment is working. His brain tumor has decreased by more than 75% in size since his last scans in December.

    Abby is ecstatic about the news and I am very happy, but a little more guarded in my excitement. The bad news is that the damage to the motor function strip of the brain is permanent so Steven will not regain use of his left arm or leg.

    Thanks for all the prayers and support that continues to come our way. The one constant in this whole ordeal has been Steven's positive attitude and the wonderful support of friends.

    See you on the water.

    Thanks again to everyone for all the prayers and support. Steven went to a Physical Therapist this week and they think they can help him regain some of the use of his left arm and leg.
