Still healing

James had his eye surgery and everything went good. His eye is a little bit straighter! He is healing nicely and his doctor is very happy with how it looks. He also had a test done to see if his cortisol levels were ok and it turns out he has adrenal insufficiency so was put on medication. For those that don't know what that is, your adrenals are connected to your kidneys and they send cortisol to your pituitary glands when your sick or stressed to help your body but his isn't doing that. It's a lot more serious than I thought. His doctor told us he could go into shock if he doesn't take his medicine. He will be getting all his teeth fixed in a couple weeks. We also heard back from his oncology team and they got his scans from AZ and the "thickening" they thought that was abnormal isn't. It's been there for a while and hasn't grown or anything. So now as long as his oncologist is ok with it they want to put him on growth hormones. So we will see. He's still loving school and started PT again. He misses home(Arizona) a lot. We are going to try and visit soon but we will see.
