What Can You Do?

Many people would love to visit Serry, or send her something, or just DO something that will lift her spirits. Serry and her family are so thankful for this outpouring of love and support.

Emails/Comments on the Blog
This is by far the most effective way to communicate with Serry and let her know you are thinking of her. She tries to read comments on here every night before bed and is strengthened to keep pushing forward. In addition, her family and friends read through the comments and are encouraged. Please keep posting here. This is the number one answer to "What can I do to help?"

What's Going On?

Serry has Medulloblastoma -- brain cancer. So many people care about our Serry that we wanted a communication hub-- somewhere that friends and family can come to get updates on how she's doing and leave their love for her to cherish. Please take your time here, lift her up in prayer, give her a big cyber hug, and leave a comment by clicking the "Comment" button below any post. Those comments mean the world to her and will continue to give her strength to fight this.

Update: The MRI results are clear. It will take many years of monitoring to make sure it doesn't come back. For now healing is the big priority!

Chemo and Relay

Hello everyone, here's your long-awaited update as to what's happening in Serry-Land. :)

First of all, Serry's been FABULOUS the past few days. She's gaining strength by the day, very cheerful, and has even been in a few stores finding some excellent deals! :) I'll admit it... yesterday, despite her doctor's appointment, she had WAY more fun than I did during my day.

What's next, though? Well, next Monday she'll scoot on up to the hospital for a five night stay. She will be doing chemo and stem cell transplants during that time. This dose will be a cocktail of three drugs--two of which she's already taken separately. I'm not exactly sure what the process will be, and I think the doctor's will be watching her to see how she responds to figure out just how to give her the medication. I'll keep you updated as we progress.

ALSO... we have started a Relay for Life team. :) We're The Brainiacs!! :) Here's our website: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/brainiacs We'll all be updating the team page AND our personal pages, but at least we've got a start. Relay for Life raises money for cancer research, advocacy, services, and more... it's put on by the American Cancer Society--and their goal is to eradicate cancer... can you imagine? Life without cancer... it's an amazing thought. You can help support the fight by donating today... If you'd like to be on our team, let me know. The event is June 26th through 27th... 24 hours of walking to end cancer. I'll post more about it later and add a link.

I hope you're all having a blessed week...
Emily
