God is so merciful. Yesterday we received wonderful news from our doctor that Julian's MRI this week came back clear! This means there was no evidence of any new cancer growth in his brain or spine. Dr. Shen wants to do a lumbar puncture next week just to be certain. We are very thankful for this encouraging news.
We are finishing up our 'break' from treatment and next week Julian starts round 2 of chemo. He'll be in the hospital for three days and will get an NG tube during that time (a feeding tube that goes through his nose into his stomache) so he can start 'eating' again. Until now, he is on IV nutrition and still as thin as a rail. We are praying that his appetite will return, but at least his stomache and intestines will be able to work again and hopefully he'll gain some weight(although I'm sure Julian will not be a happy camper about having a tube in his nose). The chemo can impact his kidneys and hearing, and will make him feel pretty sick, so we would appreciate your prayers about all of these things.
Tomorrow is the "Jammin' for Julian" children's concert and we are so excited! We hope to see you there and for those who can't attend, you can hear it via the internet on www.kociradio.com. The concert begins at 2:30 p.m.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support! Also, please keep a little girl named Emily in your prayers.
