We are finally coming up for air and wanted to send an e-mail to everyone thanking you for your amazing outpouring of support for us. Your prayers are our strength and the best medicine Julian can have. Thank you so much and for your offers of help. I think we are looking at months, maybe a year, of chemo and radiation ahead. We'll know more soon. Knowing we have a wonderful support system is an incredible blessing. I can't put into words how thankful we are for the kindness of friends and family. God is so very good to us. This hospital is amazing. This afternoon, Julian began to say a few words, the first time since Saturday. That was a huge relief. He is still tired from the surgery, but he is making little bits of progress. We would like to ask for your prayers for some specifics:
-- that the bit of cancer on the brain stem will be treatable
-- and especially that the cancer has not spread to the spinal cord (they are doing an MRI tomorrow to find out)
-- that the antibiotics will continue to prevent any infection
-- and in the coming months that his chemo and radiation will work but with the least amount of damage to him.
Thank you for everything, for how you're helping Nolan and our family, and especially for your prayers. We really are blessed.
Sincerely,
Rich and Andrea Dunn
