Greetings from Rochester, Minnesota, where the locals are enjoying the
warmest January in years. The doctors are pleased with Henrik’s
progress and stress to us:

He is young!
He is strong!
The tumor is out!
He is surrounded by a strong committed team of friends!
He is determined!

Thank you for being a part of that strong committed team.
Henrik is in physical therapy and becoming stronger each day. He walks
readily and jogged briefly. The speech pathologist is making progress
with helping him more readily retrieve names. Vision is quite improved
and full reading will resume soon. His skills should all improve as the
brain readjusts. The physical healing of the wound is excellent, to the
space formerly taken by the tumor.

We hope to return to Pittsburg by mid to late week. Dr. Joon Uhm, his
mayo neuro oncologist, is helping coordinate a treatment plan and possible
clinical study inclusion. We meet with Dr. Uhm early in the week.

Henrik is enjoying your cards and e-mails. Josh and Greer
are kept busy compiling e-mails for him and doing the other computer
related endeavors. He is blessed to have their unequivocal love and
support.

He has had visits since Thursday from Julie and J.W. Johnson
from Pittsburg; Steve, Josie, Declan and Connor Huddleston from St.
Paul, MN, Kurt and Alice Sagehorn from Pittsburg, and Dennis, Shannon
and Robin Crouch from Chicago. The youngsters have been extra special
medicine for him. Henrik’s spirit and humor are excellent. He is enjoying
your contacts coming to him from the outside world.

Lee and Sandra Christensen
