What are your memories of roller coasters do you like them are they scary what do you feel about them?
I am not a huge fan. I went on one with my friends Jen and Pete at Alton towers in england. I remember being petrified when we reached the top and the feeling in my stomach as we decended. My life right now feels like I am on a roller coasters ride! I have hopeful days filled with things i love, then days when my heart is in my stomach and I am being dropped from a height. Mostly I am still trying to live my best life! That might look oneday, like a lot of sleep or it is a walk or hanging with friends and family. Today. I paddled!!!! How awesome is that?anyway, roller coasters! Not a fan. However I do visualize paddling the waves and having to roll with them. Up the crest and down the other side. Just going with the motion. It is all we can do. Each day is a gift. None of us really know what is ahead so ride the wave and enjoy the experience.







Happy place.

Update:
Update from Dave: Hi All, a bit of a complicated update today. Currently one of the tumors is regrowing. This is on the right side of Dawn’s brain and so impacts her left side. The new growth is causing two issues, the growth is in the area of the brain that controls awareness of her left side and there is swelling in the motor area. This swelling is causing Dawn’s lack of motion in the left arm and weakness in her left leg. The treatment plan we are discussing is to perform an Ablation procedure to kill the tumor cells and then using a different form of chemo to kill any remaining cancer cells.
Ablation is a where they insert a small probe into the brain to the area that is to be treated and burn, internally, the cancer cells. There are a number of benefits of this over a surgical removal. The recovery time is much faster (home in 1-2 days) and so chemo can start earlier. Lesions in deep areas of the brain can be reached with less damage. Finally, ablation opens up the blood brain barrier making chemo more effective.
We have a meeting with the Dr. on Thursday, and they are planning for when the surgery will happen. There is a slight complication as to who does the surgery and where but not a big issue, just some administrative stuff.
We will let you know when the surgery is happening and how it goes.
I think of you and yours every day, by name, in prayer.
You are true warriors!
Sending much love and light to you all!

Truthfully I’m not a fan of roller coasters either my friend. However, I love your analogy with riding the swell and the waves. You’re riding them with great skill, focus and a bloody good paddleboard! I love you 💕

I’ve never liked any ride that makes me wish I never got on as soon as it starts! Love all the beautiful pictures of you with your family.
