Chris Johnson here, with an update on Margaret Bamberger's health:
Margaret Bamberger has been receiving radiation therapy for brain cancer all month. She had an MRI on the 17th which showed no change in the lesions. So, the good news is that they haven't grown. Also, she's had no seizures, no headaches, and she feels great.
This week, she'll continue the radiation treatment, after which they'll finish-up with three days of higher-dose treatment. Once that's done, her condition will be re-evaluated, and future treatments will be planned accordingly.
Because a month of daily cancer treatment can't have been any fun, there was a large party in Margaret's honor this afternoon at the Benini Sculpture Ranch, kindly hosted by the Beninis. Margaret was understandably tired, but had no trouble coping with being the center of attention for five hours. She was smiling, chatting, and hugging anyone who came within range the whole time.
I'm sure she'd appreciate kind thoughts from her readers. Please feel free to leave them here as comments.

Margaret, Hello and Blessings from the Roger Tory Peterson Institute. I think of you often and always when I see a bat. If you remember, you were here when you got the first news of bats in your Chiroptorium! I've graduated to Special Collections in charge of all of RTP's beautiful artwork. We all wish you well and you will be in my healing prayers at all times. Hugs. Marlene Mudge
P.S. I have an Aidan also
We will all miss this wonderful human being so much! Tears should fall from the sky today, in her honor.
