Just a couple more days of follow up.

Hello all,

Mike here just checking in to let you all know that all is well. LaDawne seems to have more energy than I do at the moment. The surgery went well and the Doctor came to talk to us last night. There were 3 veins that had been blocked with one in particular down by the spine that had a lot of blockage. This Azygos vein had been blocked for a long time, already having grown new veins around to compensate for the lack of proper flow. I find it interesting that, regardless of MS, Doctors in Calgary would not go so far as to check her vascular system.

At any rate, LaDawne is doing well and we still wait for some bigger positve results from this procedure. LaDawne is not dicouraged, knowing that results will take time. She also realizes that even if there are no positive results the progression will be slowed if not halted. It is very important that we remain realistic as well as optomistic. There have been so many ups and downs in our walk with this disease we have learned to curb our emotions to the point of having low expectaions. We thank you all for your contiued prayers and support. We are very hopful for complete recovery and trust that God will be glorified in any case.

yours truely,

Mike
