Micah Simpson

We took Micah to the doctor in New Orleans (Children’s Hospital) this morning–May 7,2012. His report was really good, the extra rib hasn’t grown and we will go back in 2 years instead of 1 year.

Micah was glad to get out of the doctors office, and said that place gave him the heebie jeebies.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

I want to share some very good news with you, my friends and family. Today I had a visit with my oncologist regarding the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that I was diagnosed with a few months ago. I’m so happy to report that my blood work was good and there were no palpable lymph nodes! So, no changes at all! I am so thankful and feel so blessed to have such good news! In about 3 months from now I will have a pet scan to compare with the initial scan that was done back in January.

He told me that the type of cancer I have is very slow-growing and it could be a long time before it manifests symptoms, at which time treatment would begin.

Thank you all for your love, prayers and concern. Please continue!

May God bless you!
