Short blog to update on seizure related hospitalization.  Just received results from three days of intensive testing, scanning, etc.  The inflammation in Rusty's brain whch triggered the seizures, appears to be caused by "avascular necrosis", ...or dying cells, in the area of the brain treated with gamma radiation. It is treatable with a chemo agent.  First treatment will start today in the hospital.  Subsequent treatments will be every two weeks for a total of eight treatments.  In the meantime, he will still receive one more dose of the chemo for melanoma.  Needless to say, we are relieved on two fronts...first, no apparent recurrance of brain tumor, ...and second, we are dealing with a treatable problem.  Prayers are answered, and God is watching over us.
