Well, Mac continues to amaze me more and more every day.
They were running about 2 hours late at the MRI for the sedation piece so Mac
agreed to give it a try with it. He went in with Billy and was AMAZING! He laid
in there listening to the banging of the machine for an hour. He only had to
have the last picture redone because he had had enough, was bored and wanted
out. I couldn’t believe when he walked out and told me “it was a breeze”.
We then met with Dr. Wolff. The results of the MRI were not
what we expected. The new pictures showed that 2 additional small tumors have
started to grow. We are going to move ahead with having some tumor markers
tested and from that information we will start on a new protocol. Dr. Wolff
will also meet with the tumor board and neurosurgeon to discuss possible
surgery. We are hoping to know more of specifics over the next couple of weeks.
We continue to be optimistic and will keep praying for our
miracle. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
Becky,
ReplyDeleteI was shocked to hear of Mac's recent MRI. I am glad, however, to hear that you continue to remain optimistic about Mac's care. Mac is not a number. Mac is not a statistic. Mac is a little boy facing the odds and doing so bravely.
I have the utmost trust and confidence that Dr. Wolff and his team at Tufts have Mac's best interests truly at heart and will do everything that they can to see that Mac has every chance of beating this.

I'm with Han on this one.
