Christmas Greetings

Merry Christmas to all of you, we couldn't ask for a better gift than we already got this year. John is doing very well, the last biopsies and tests were all very good and he is actually back to running a bit. He is getting stronger every day now. He alternates walking and running and each day he can run a little more so he is thrilled. He can now drive so he is loving his independence! We go to Duke again next week, then we might be able to go for a whole month without going back there if all of the tests come back okay.

We have enjoyed being able to get back to church, both in Covington and in Monticello, and being able to act like normal folks at least part of the time has really been good.

We hope that all of you have a great new year, and we will try to update his test results from next week a bit sooner. John's dad had a "minor" stroke (not sure how any stroke can be minor!) so we spent a few days up in Athens with him at St. Mary's hospital, but he is doing well now and is home so we are hoping that everyone will stay well and we can start off the new year on strong footing!
