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?"
We will be doing a Relay for Life team next year. Come walk with us or donate!

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!

...and chemo isn't happening this week. :) Serry's faced some snafu's this week that have caused everyone to delay chemo until next Monday. Let's pray for her that she heals from everything and actually has a RELAXING week. Much love to you, Serry!
Serry -- Hi there. I guess it is time to just relax and heal for awhile. That's what you need to do. We realize this is not easy - just relax and put on some good music, watch a bit of TV if you are up to it and get some rest. Good time to catch up on some good movies. In the meantime we are already getting ready for Fall 2009 classes. Can you believe that? Take care. Happy thoughts. Sandie
Serry, you've done so well for so long that you've been incredible. I'm glad you have a week without chemo. I hope you heal, relax and are ready for it by next week. Take it easy and know we all love you. Lorie
Dear Serry, TO THE CURE! The good thing about delaying your chemo treatments is that your body gets a little rest and regains some strength needed for the next battle. The very best news is that your tumors are gone. Wow! I bet you did one heck of a happy dance. What a rock star you are. We all miss you terribly and continue to cheer you on. Your acceptance of all you have been through and all that faces you has been a testimony to who you are. May God bless and continue to hold you tight as you go through chemo. The end is in sight and believe it or not normalcy will return, slowly, but guaranteed. Fondly thinking of you, Barbara

I'm assuming this is a picture of Gentry's llama? So beautiful...
I'm glad you will be able to rest this week, Serry, and focus on building strength.
