All Good

We drove 11 hours on Tuesday from Hyannis, MA to get back into town for Clay's MRI. Yesterday we got the news -- shrinkage all around! Clay has been on the re-treatment medicine now for 6 months, and we got the green light for another 3 months.  The doctors are all very pleased with the way his disease is responding to being back on the medicine, and the best news is that this time there is no forced "end date" for us to stop.  In the meantime, some other MEK inhibitors are making their way down the approval pipeline, and we pray that these will be effective also in the future.

This news capped off a great month in every way.  NJ, ME, MA, lots of action and lots of visiting, 2,100 miles clocked on the car odometer.  Clay enjoyed fishing, learning to throw on a pottery wheel, art class, kayaking, swimming almost daily, and of course consuming lots of lobster and ice cream.  We were lucky with great weather the entire month.  Since we had stayed in the same house in MA last summer, it was all more familiar and easier for Clay this time.  Now we are home for a few weeks, and braille "summer school" is underway...
