You've been such an encouragement to me. You are so beautiful - you remind me of my mom.". A Quiet Encourager', was how one woman described me, when I was a guest speaker for an NF group in Canada.

Treating NF: The end??
http://treatingnf.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-end.html
Sunday, September 21, 2014. This week was a very big week at chemo. This may have been his LAST chemo session! In 2 weeks, Logan will go for an MRI and if it is stable and there are no other concerns, we will be done with chemo! I wish I could have made a bigger deal about it and told Logan that it would be the last time, but I wouldn't be able to handle it if it that were not true. We'll have to wait for his MRI to hopefully celebrate the good news. It is not too late to contribute to the NF Walk for th...

He laid still for nearly an hour while 3 different techs/doctors poked and prodded at his belly. Thank god for iPads! One step closer to knowing nothing more. As a paren...

Friday we set out to visit many of the township departments to collect donations and share a bit of Logan's story.
