    Give VanMark a hug



    • Hug

      From MyEmma November 16

      Hi Mark,
      Sorry for the very long delay in messages-I'm not on DS too often (obviously, ha, ha). When is Vanessa's MRI? I'll be praying for you guys for a stable scan! Nothing like scaring parents to the high-heavens that their mobile toddler has to be extra careful for any bumps on the head...! I'm sure she'll get through this unscathed-just two extra-worried parents to show for it! :) I hope Vanessa is continuing to great in her development. Let me know how things are going. My best to you and your family, Amy

      From Heather418 August 19

      Dear Mark,
      Thank you so very much for all the information and the hug. It's been a rough few weeks but I am hopeful that they can come to a consensus at Hopkins. I understand it is your daughter who is ill. How is she doing? Thank you again!

      Heather

      From MyEmma July 27

      Hi Mark,
      Just checking on how things are going with your daughter -hope all is well! We recently had Emma's annual MRI & team meeting -went absolutely fantastic! They have recommended we now have MRI's every two years. I know anything can happen with this tumor at any time but I do have some comfort in the thought that they must feel confident enough that this may remain stable for some time given our history to date. Hope you're enjoying some good summer weather over there (hasn't been very warm at all in Southern Ontario!) Take care, Amy

    • I’m With You

      From MyEmma May 20

      I hope all went well with the neuro-onc. Keeping your family in thought & prayer, Amy
