Briah is one and a half years old and the daughter of one of my former graduate students. A few days ago it was discovered that Briah has a malignant brain tumor. The doctors were able to extract about 95% of the tumor, so some cancer cells still remain. She is not able to breathe on her own and is fighting for her life as I write this to ask Team Mike for its very best Good Vibes for Briah and her parents. The odds of her survival are heavily stacked against her, so she needs every possible kind of support. We have also been told that she must start her chemo treatments right away, which will put additional stress on her body.
Winnie Brown started her radiation treatments about 10 days ago, so she also needs some of your Good Vibes. From what we are being told, she is doing OK with the treatments so far. Her challenge will increase over the course of the treatments as the pain and discomfort get notched up.
As for me, some of my 'wait and see' ends today with an appointment with the best jaw ORN in ATL. I'll post an update later today or tomorrow. In the meantime, PLEASE send your best Good Vibes to Briah--she needs them much more than me.
Mike
