So blessed!

We got the results back from the big scan we did on Thursday, and it is more good news!

The cancer has not spread to any additional parts of his body, and they think the tumor has reached maturity (I'm not sure what that means, but the doctor said that it is good.) They are fully expecting the tumor to disolve on its own. But, they'll watch closely to make sure.

I feel VERY confident with the people we're working with. The plan we'll be following is part of a study from the national cancer society, and from all I can find on the Internet it is the best and most up to date approach.

We are now officially down to one or two doctors appointments a week now, and we're so excited about that! I'm still not getting any sleep, and Mylee is stressed beyond words about all this change - but we couldn't be happier with how this has all gone.

It is a sobering thing to spend time at Primary Children's Hospital. We all have things to be thankful for, but if our children our healthy we have EVERYTHING to be thankful for. There are few blessing more amazing then the health of our loved ones.

Thanks for the love and support! Your prayers have been heard!

This is wonderful. Sis. Slater shared this news in R.S. today and most people I could see -- including her -- teared up. I did too.

Congratulations, what a blessing. There are no limits to the borrower of prayer and fasting.

that is such good news! I agree with going to Primary's, we never realize how lucky we are to have healthy children until you go up there and see those children. We'll keep hoping things go well, you get sleep and Mylee gets less stressed!
