Click here to support Boots 2 Tumor Project! by Kelly Edge-Boswell This is Kerigan Boswell, The saying that follows her is "BOOTS 2 TUMOR!!! WE GOT THIS!!!" In September 2012, Kerigan Boswell, 17, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in her left frontal lobe. The treatment bills are gargantuan. The "goal amount" is no where near the total need...

thanks for helping!

Matthew 19:26:Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
I have had many of you following Kerigan Lee Boswell progress since she blew her knee out last April and her reaction to the anesthetic in surgery. We did not expect the diagnosis we received last week. Tuesday we got the MRI results, Wed talked to neuro, Thur went to eye specialist, H
e was able to confirm MRI. This is what we know: She has a tumor in the left frontal lobe, the inferior middle gyri subcort location, it is in both white and grey matter of the brain, she has had intercraneal swelling by looks of the optic nerve and her optic nerve is being compromised, it is also very close to the Broca's center. We have been told that is one of two types of tumor. Kerigan and I have decided based on which one it is to name the tumor "Ollie" or "Gill" as soon as we know we will post...The next step...The neuro, surgeon and radiologist are looking at every thing and will call once they have a plan to present, he did tell me the hardest thing to tell a parent is that we may have to wait for the second MRI to check growth (I just want it out) the first is our baseline. So our motto is with God "WE GOT THIS! We have good days in which we will run with and we will have bad days in which we will deal with. Please feel free to share the more prayers the better! We COVET your prayers, we got this!

DID YOU KNOW...Patients with multiple sclerosis have problems with their immune systems attacking their nerves, resulting in nerve damage. MedlinePlus explains that multiple sclerosis affects the brain and spinal cord, causing pain, movement problems and other symptoms. While the treatment for multiple sclerosis often involves medication to control symptoms, some patients may opt to include massage therapy as part of their treatment program.

For the ones that have been with me since I started, and to the ones just getting on board: I made an announcement earlier that I was nominated and received the honor of being apart of the MS Society Therapy Group. We will be working the MS150 this Sat 9/8 in Joplin, my "DID YOU KNOW.." will be dedicated to this challenge (I don't like to call it disease) this challenged hit too close to home in 2009 and was exasperated by stress and extreme heartache. Because of what I went through and my own rehabilitation I became a LMT, focusing on neuro muscular therapy. To my patients and friends who overcome this challenge this week is dedicated to you!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day!!! Back to laboring tomorrow in the office :) Love my job!
