Well I hate to be the bearer of good news, but Mia's most recent MRI revealed another clear scan - which makes her cancer free for 20 months now since the removal of her tumor. I'm getting my happy little girl back more and more now. She has a lot more energy now that the chemo has been working its way out of her system.

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/miathinnes . It should make a real nice scrapbook for her someday. I don't go back and read it too often cause it makes me cry. I even have a hard time looking at pictures of her over the last 20 months. It often makes me feel like a little bitch when I think about how a person can dwell on their problems and then along comes a little kid that just blows you out of the water and shows you what a real problem is. She makes me pretty proud to be her Daddy and pretty humble that I'm responsible for bringing her into the world.

We still have a long way to go before they consider her cancer free, but the doctor's initially told us that there was a good chance of curing her. We listened to them and followed their protocol. What they didn't tell us, is that the process would fix us. Our marriage is so much stronger now than before and the family is really a team. It isn't utopia, but we aren't two selfish people trying to extract things we need or want.

Anyway, I made a comment before the game last week that I was good to go whether the Packers won or lost. Well Mia won again, so the Packers will just have to reload and go for it next year and I'm not losing a minute of sleep over this year's choke job.

Most excellent news indeed, Troy.

It lifts my heart to hear that Mia is getting back to where a little girl should be.
Tough road for her, but she comes from good stock....on her mothers side that is.[grin1]

It is sometimes strange that tribulations may end up with good results, but the fact that it has had a positive impact on your entire family is most good to hear.

Give my best to your little girl, her sisters and your wife.


And I don't care what the rest of the world says DT, for a dumbass, you're a hell of good guy.

If anyone is holding a pity party over the Packers season, then well tough shit. They had a hell of a year but were a flawed team. And that had more to do with the defense than thy offense.

Rodgers earned every vote of his MVP award.

Now on to the important stuff.. that is most excellent news Troy. On all fronts.. you and your family not only managed through a rough time.. you all grew as a family and refocused on life. Not all families could do the same... much less trials tear families apart daily.

A "JJ Watt" type salute to your entire family.. and a bonus one to Mia for her bravery and determination.
