Hello Friends,

We are chilly in Rochester, staying a block off the Mayo Clinic “compound.” Grace’s appointment with Dr. Pickott [Wednesday] will determine how long we stay and what we do here.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Grace! Dr. Ness, our neurologist at Childrens’, called and wished Grace a happy birthday too. 🙂

Glad we brought a sweater…

Next Tuesday, May 3, Grace will be 16! 🙂

To celebrate, we are going to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Pickott is an adult neurologist who specializes in auto-immune situations. Dr. Ness shared Grace’s case with him recently in Hawaii and he was interested in seeing Grace. After the appointment on Wednesday morning, Dr. Pickott will recommend tests, treatment, or other appointments so we don’t yet know how long we will stay.

We are thankful that God has opened doors for this specialist to examine Grace, as Dr. Pickott sees patients only one week out of the month.

Thinking we’ll need a sweater…

Easter Sunday, April 24, 2011

Hope you have had a wonderful Easter celebration on this beautiful Sunday! We have had a good week, with Grace’s symptoms slightly better, tax season over, some school work done. We are thankful to God for the healing we see in Grace. At times she is maybe 65% “Grace.”

Thank you for loving our family through this situation. Your prayers, cards, comments, posts keep us encouraged.

Update on Grace – Saturday April 16, 2011

Hi friends:

Grace is a step better this week, able to walk some by using the counter or wall to balance. We are thankful for any improvement and are praying it continues.

Dr. Ness has been at a neurology conference this past week and has talked with others about Grace’s condition. We haven’t talk with her yet about her findings, so not sure what’s next.

Working this week on getting back into school work. Tax season officially over on Monday.

🙂 Lynn

Update, Saturday, April 9

Hope you all have enjoyed a beautiful week! Life at the Champion house has been fair to partly cloudy, as Grace finished a round of steroids Tuesday. Who invented this evil drug? We have been encouraged by small steps of improvement in Grace. Her balance seems better.

We will talk with Dr. Ness this week about the next step. Please pray that she will be smart as she treats Grace.

Heaven is surely overrun with prayers for our girl; we thank you.
