Just a quick update: We travel back to Boston next week for Jessie's biopsy which will be performed at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Not without risks, including possible drooping of one side of the face, our hope is it will give them the best possible information to better formulate an appropriate treatment. Jessie remains strong, with a positive attitude. Saturday she is going with friends to take part in an ice-fishing derby. Sunday, our family has asked for a gathering that they may wish her good luck in person. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts !

Jessie's biopsy went very well today, much to our relief! They feel they got a good sample of the tumor and will analyze it and determine the proper radiation treatment. She is doing great, trying to make her case for getting released tomorrow. No damage to the facial muscles or other issues showing up at this point. One hurdle crossed!

Lenny: Your request is our command. You and your family are in our prayers. Keep the spirit, Brother, and be strengthened by Jessicas positivity!

On Monday my daughter Jessica had an MRI which revealed a tumor on her brain stem. Yesterday we met with a neuro surgeon and neuro oncologist at he Dana Faber Institute in Boston. They believe, even though it is in the brain stem, they have an angle of approach that will allow them to do a computer image controlled needle biopsy. While not without risks, they feel it will be worthwhile to confirm their belief that it is a grade 2 glioma and aid them in coming up with the proper treatment, most likely radiation. We await a call from them on Monday for the date of the biopsy which will be done at the Brigham and Women's hospital.
