Good News from Hopkins

We just got word from Hopkins that Amanda's aneurysms are stable and do not need to be looked at again until next year - yippee! The neurosurgeon who evaluated them commented again that he felt they were of low risk of increasing in size because they are of a fusiform shape (widened blood vessel, not berry shaped) - double yippee! If they stay stable for another year or so, we may get to stretch out testing to every other year. Only one blood test came back slightly abnormal and we are awaiting the interpretation of that one. So, overall, very good news from Hopkins. Praise God!

Amanda has been doing wonderfully lately. She is making so much progress both physically and mentally. We are quite excited. Amanda went to the big paws4people race this weekend and walked all over the place. It was a wonderful event put on by UNCW students to raise money for paws4people. It was a big success. Thank you students! It was also wonderful to see all of our paws4people friends again.

Tomorrow Katie turns 10. Wow, double digits arrived really quickly! She is having a Rock Star party on Sunday at Sweet N Sassy with 9 of her closest friends. She also got straight "A"s on her report card this term. Way to go Katie!

All and all, things are going really well at the Ivancevich household these days. Amanda has not had another migraine since starting back on the Topamax and she has been so happy. Katie is growing like a weed and enjoying school. Flowers are blooming and the spring semester is almost over for Dan and me. We are looking forward to a relaxing and productive summer.

God Bless to All!
