To anyone who has not been in contact with Bryon the last two years, this news will seem rather odd. I am just so excited to report that Bryon recently made a HUGE breakthrough in his speech recovery!!
It happened on Wednesday morning before school when I was telling Anna to ride the right bus home after school. If she rode the normal bus, she would be home later and not be able to make it to gymnastics. Bryon was in the kitchen making breakfast and he made a quick addition to my speech at his mother's expense. Without waiting for the ball to drop he simply said "If you ride Granny's bus you'll never make it home."
My jaw dropped and must have had a grin from ear to ear because my face still hurts. It is offical, Bryon made a joke and followed through to the punch line without forgetting, pausing, or stuttering!
Of course he was way too groggy to care for this news, but I have publicly announced this news with him in front of friends and co-workers several times and he smiles and holds his head high. Congratulations on getting your wit back, babe!! We love you so very much!

Quiet Blog
It is weird when you forget about your own blog because there is nothing of value to report. As it is, Bryon has enjoyed his summer with his family. Lots of activities and adventures to share, but none so amazing as the fact that he is healthy. We are so astounded by his recovery and how well he functions from day to day. So I guess in a few words, everything is going great and the MRI is coming up on October 4th. There are no signs that the tumor has resurfaced, but even if it has, it would have to have made tremendous growth to start causing any interference with brain function.
I know there are other people out there who are not so lucky in their fight with cancer and that they have made their own choices for treatment. I just want you to think about it if it were you, for a moment. So what if there is no cure for what you have, that does not make you a goner. Every bit of treatment can extend your life a little more so you can build a bridge over the gap from dying, to dealing, to cured. That's all Bryon did was try to make it to the cure and he may have done it, but in doing so he may have cured others with his endeavors. Clinical trials are so important to our medical knowledge base in treating disease of all kinds. I am thankful for all the prayers and well wishes from everyone, but I would also like to thank Bryon for doing the trial that may have saved his life as well as many many others.
Sorry, I got all gushy there for a moment. It won't happen again...till the next post probably.
