The verdict is out! News from Mayo Clinic

Here is the news we all have been waiting for.... drum roll please...(this is the short version)
1. Jeff does not have MS!

2. Jeff does not have a seizure disorder!

3. Mayo clinic has determined that Jeff has continued vascular complications following his stroke he had in November. The most recent MRI of his head showed an increase in white matter lesions on his brain. Jeff's subsequent right sided numbness, weakness, cognitive changes and fatigue are a residual of his initial stroke.

The good news is that there are not any new active stroke areas on his brain! He has been given the green light to drive again and increase his activities as his energy dictates.

There is great reason to praise God!! No surgery! No MS! So watch out Mexico!...We are coming home!

Thank you all for your faithfulness in prayer, your encouragement, your support and for following this lengthy saga.

We love you! Ineke and Jeff
