Christmas Lights. Seriously?

The neurosurgeon agrees that all is well!  I think it's safe to be completely elated now  :)

His next MRI and set of check-ups will be around the beginning of March.  We're on an every-three-month schedule this coming year, just to keep an eye on things.
We forgot to mention in the last post that because of the results of the "chromosome test" (FISH test, if you know whatever that is), they know that Mark had the kind of cancer that does not respond to chemotherapy.  So, any further treatment would either be radiation or (in an extreme case) more surgery.  Of course, we're praying that we won't be looking at any of that.

His leg and foot are still responding slowly, but at least they are responding.  In fact, he felt confident enough to put up our outside Christmas lights this year (with help from my dad)! 
We have a two-story house.
With high peaks.
I couldn't look.
But, to tell you the truth, it was great that he could do it, and they sure look terrific  :)
(And thanks, Dad!) 

Many, many thanks for all the prayer and encouraging words!  It has meant so much to us...

Merry Christmas!
Love,
Mark and Kim :)
