We met with the doctor at Phoenix Children's Hospital, pretty much she just wanted to evaluate James herself and see how he is. They still can't tell if James has scar tissue or tumor. He will get another MRI done Monday and then Wednesday they will do surgery and take a biopsy of it. Depending on what the results are will depend on the next step. He might do more regular chemo or he might do 2 to 3 cycles of high dose chemo and transplant. She is planning on calling the doctor at UCLA that created his protocol and asking his advice. James' liver got really badly damaged last time so they want to be extra careful.
We are a little bummed they are doing surgery the day before Thanksgiving. We were hoping to have him home for one holiday. We are ready to move on though. We know the faster we start the faster it will be all over. James is doing really well and is starting to crawl. He can't go too far cause he gets tired quick but we are excited for him.
Total bummer that he'll be down and out for the holidays, but hopefully, it will be the ticket to spending every holiday from here on out with your sweet James. Think of you everyday and then some, our hearts are with you ! We're still praying daily for your little man here in New Mexico...
ReplyDeleteJames gives me great strength. Please know that your love and example of faith is noticed and is helping many others. We also continue prayers in his and families behalf.
