MS Bike Ride was a success!

Ryan's team (Ren's Riders) raised over $26,000 for last weekends MS Bike Ride in Logan!!! He and I each rode the 40 miler and it was an amazing day. Thanks to everyone who helped and supported the event. It truly meant a lot to us both.

Great News

Ryan had his second visit with his MS doctor yesterday and his latest MRI showed significant improvement over his first. Several of the lesions on his brain and spinal column have stopped and some have gone the other direction. We are so happy for this news and hope that it continues as Ryan tries to fight this battle with all that he has. Thanks to all of you for your love, support, and prayers.

I shot a 75 yesterday in North Carolina!

After the doctors told me it could be months before I walk, or would need to walk with a cane...also that I may not be able to golf again, I am extremely excited to say that my golf game has returned! My doctor is in shock at how well I have recovered in such a short period of time...something he thought was not possible. Most all of my symptoms of MS have temporarily gone away. I will be receiving another MRI in July to see if the damage on my brain, brain stem, and spinal column has remained the same or at least slowed down. Until then, I continue to have a positive outlook on life and am enjoying every day to the fullest.

I hit a bucket of golf balls today!

Just to give everyone perspective on my progress, I actually hit a bucket of golf balls today, in a snowstorm nonetheless! And yes, I sort of suck but that will change as I get used to my new body. The doc didn't think this would happen, at least not soon. The heck with what other people think...
