Update

I (Lisa) spoke with Justin and Mistie this morning they are braving the snow and staying positive. This has been a crazy month since the surgery, one test after another and one doctor after another. Mistie has an appointment in St. George with her new Medical Oncologist, he is the one she will be seeing for the chemotherapy. The doctor in Salt Lake wanted her to have a doctor she could see on a weekly basis rather then monthly so he had her switch doctors.

Last week they did another MRI and tried to do a spinal tap (this is to determine whether or not the cancer cells have spread since this is one of the only types of cancer that spreads through the spinal fluid) unfortunately the hospital was unable to do the spinal tap because the tumor had pushed the brain and it hadn't returned to the proper place. So again it is the waiting game!

This delay in treatments has made it possible for Mistie to enjoy a Christmas at home with the children, all but Laura who is still at my house. But she gets to go home for a visit while my mom is there so that will be nice for her. When she is asked why she is at Aunt Lisa's house she says..... "Mommy's sick.... I go home when mommy feels better" she is doing great here with the knowledge that she is here while mommy is sick.

So many people have been so kind and we want to thank each one! Thank You! ! ! ! !

When I talked to Justin this morning he let me know that we could use their Pay Pal account for donations.... it is MistieMyler@hotmail.com you go to www.PayPal.com and click on the link that says "Send money to family and friends" enter the information and you are done...

I will also be working on getting an account set up through Wells Fargo hopefully this will happen in the next day or two.

Thank you everyone and please remember each other in your prayers!
