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!

My Sister, The Rock Star

So... good evening! Serry had a doctor's appointment today with her neurologist. She also went in for an MRI. The doctor was very pleased with how Serry's progressing--especially in light of her MRI results. Want to know what the results were??? NO VISIBLE TUMORS. I'm going to say it again because I just can't believe it and I LOVE to hear it. No. Visible. Tumors.

The battle is by no means over. Serry starts chemo on Monday and will be fighting on that front for awhile. HOWEVER... The results from this MRI are so stinking fantastic. I thought you'd all want to know... I know it keeps making me cry. This is the best news I've gotten in a long time.

Serr - you just keep on being strong and getting healthy. We love you bunches and bunches and bunches.
