Update...

This weekend Riley is with Darryl and he took her up to Austin to visit her Paw-Paw.  It was good for both of them.  Riley is good medicine for anyone who needs a laugh!  She is HILARIOUS and at the perfect age right now.  Courtney, Darryl's dad, is doing very well and has been cleared to do anything, including driving.  So things are looking up.  I received a email from Danielle and she said that unless you knew he had been through major brain surgery a week ago, you wouldn't know anything was wrong.  
Friday morning, Danielle took Paw-Paw to a follow up doctors visit with the neurologist where the diagnosis was confirmed.  Glioblastoma Multiforme, or GBM, Grade IV brain tumor.  He will have an MRI next week to give the oncologists a baseline for therapy.  Courtney has decided to use the same oncologist that Darryl's mom used and he feels very comfortable with this.  He has also told Darryl that he is planning on doing whatever he needs to in order to prolong his life.  He is in good spirits and ready to take this on full force! 
Thank you all for your prayers, and they will continue to be needed!

Glad to hear the surgery went well and he's ready for a fight. Give the family all our love. And can you tell my neighbor to come over and visit sometime! I miss you girl! I thought you were supposed to have MORE free time once school was finished :) And PS, you and Riley's new picture is beautiful!
