Progress

The above picture is of a sign for the construction going on all around Delhi for the Commonwealth Games. It applies to Gavin too.
Yesterday we went on another crazy adventure to get a SPECT scan on Gavin's brain. After some uncomfortable injections and a lot of waiting, the test results showed most of the lesions on his brain have shrunk!!!!!! Only a small part of his brain is affected now, where before it was most of his brain. We were both so excited to hear the results. We knew he was feeling better but it's a whole other feeling when you have documented evidence on paper saying you are recovering! It was an amazing day and Gavin has been all smiles. It's only going to get better.
Today he has two physiotherapy appointments so he should be standing longer and getting much stronger. He's doing great and looking even better!

  4. Dear Gavin,
    It's been many years, but I read about you this evening and wanted to reach out and say hello. Hmmmm, let's see, I guess it's been between 15-20 years since our early teen years in Ojai, CA - I think the last we saw one another was youth group? Sharron Felgar was my maiden name.....Your story is incredible and Kristin, your blogging is wonderful, thank you for sharing this journey. You both are certainly amazing and this therapy is just fantastic. May you grow strong each and every day, much love......
