We have decided to create a blog, to help inform everyone on the status of Scott and this stinky ole brain tumor. Please feel free to pass the blog address on, we need as many prayers as possible. We believe that there is a huge power in prayer! i think that with God on our side, we can beat this tumor!

Praise the Lord!


"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."- Matthew 21:22


Last night Scott had his first MRI scan since the start and finish of the first round of treatment. Today we went for the results. The doctor walked in and said his MRI looked beautiful! And after asking one million questions and reviewing the MRI, we concluded that there has been NO PROGRESSION on the tumor. This is what we are going to continually pray for from now on... NO PROGRESSION!

Scott was approved for a study with a drug called Avastin. It is a very popular chemotherapy that is used to treat many different types of cancers. The Avastin is administered through an IV. Scott will have to get these IV treatments every two weeks. Each treatment is approximately 30 minutes at a time. Today he started his first treatment. His appointment was at 2pm, and they just took him back at 4pm! His nurse told him to get use to that, because they run behind a lot! ~Darn! - we got pretty spoiled with the radiation treatments! Those nurses had him in and out! But oh well, if this Avastin works, we have no problem waiting!! :)

Scott will go back for another MRI scan in 8 weeks! He will have scans every two months for the next two years! He better get accustomed to that machine, because it looks like he will be in it quite a bit!

We have been praying for a miracle, and we can't stop! PLEASE keep the prayers coming- they are working!!! Our God is an AWESOME God and he wants us to believe in his powers, and that we do!!! We believe that he can heal our Scotty!

Thanks for all of the support and prayers! We love you all!

We will update again soon!


Here is a picture from this past weekend. We made a trip to Austin to visit family - this picture was taken in front of Lake Austin...it was a FABULOUS weekend!

    I love the photo of you guys at the lake, but that's not what caught my eye. I'd recognize a Larry's t-shirt anywhere! I'm thinking it's their "secret sauce" that's helping get rid of that nasty tumor. Larry's....it does a body good! So glad to hear such good news. I know our situations are very different, but the common thread is our faith. Trust your Journey, just as we are. Our thoughts and prayers are still with you guys. Love you all,
    Guinette,Stephen,Stephanie, Megan and Philip
