Mac had another really great day. Although he spent most of his time sedated he is still able to respond well to questions by nodding yes, wiggle his toes when asked and squeeze your hand. He  HATES his breathing tube and has tried to remove it several times. He wakes up every time it is suctioned out. He really enjoyed having his teeth brushed today! At one point I was talking to him telling him to close his eyes to get more rest. When I told him I loved him he was able to try to mouth "I love you" back.

The MRI showed just what they expected. A little blood pooling that they will continue to drain,some tumor regeneration (this was expected) and a large portion of tumor still present on the left side of the brain. This will be addressed with future treatment. We are just waiting for the biopsy results on Monday and then we will have a plan of attack.

Liam is the ever present supportive brother. The MRI took longer than expected today. As time passed my nervousness increased. Liam said "Why is everyone so nervous?" Dad tried to explain Mac has had 2 major brain surgeries. Liam's response was "He will be fine. The doctors know what they are doing." I like the way he thinks!

I have included a quick little video taken of Mac at Christmas. I know many of you know Mac, but for those of you who don't this captures the free spirit and fun loving kid that he is! Not to mention some really great dance moves.

Thank you all so much for your support. We would not be able to make it though this without you.
