I am praising god!! Blake had his MRI today and it showed his tumor is STABLE!!! It shrank a lil bit more-not much-but I am SO grateful!! It was a LONG day. We started off having 9:15 check-in, 10:15 MRI, and 1:30 follow-up with Dr. Mahajan. However, they didnt put on our schedule that we needed to go to the Pedi-clinic and get Blakes port accessed. Ugh, so we ran across the hospital. We had to wait for almost 45 min, then after we finally got his port accessed-ran back to the other end of the hospital. Blake had his MRI, then we went to see Dr. Vatts, who after waiting another 45 min learned that he had an emergency. So we headed to our apt with Dr. Mahajan. She let us know his MRI results-we were very happy. Then went back to see Dr. Vatts. Waited another hour or so. Finally we went back, and he looked Blake over, read us the MRI results and then were sent back to the waiting room. Blake still had to get his port de-accessed. Ugh!! More waiting. We finally were taken back and were finally ready to head back to Jean's. We were all exhausted. We have to leave here tomorrow at 5am. This has been a suicide trip. Next time, I am going to plan on adding in a few more days. We werent able to see a few family members. :( We will be back in February, so I am going to make sure we see everyone then. Its been hard to do anything other than our apts this trip. Phil was able to eat his fish tacos last night. His birthday is tomorrow-we get to drive home for his bday. lol. Woo Hoo. haha. Oh and we were able to get Blake's 'Flashes of Hope' pictures while we were at the Pedi-clinic. I am SO excited!! I will post some up-again if you have a facebook-I have WAY more photos posted there. Carepages only allows me to post 100 pics. So look me up if you have a facebook. Talk to you all soon!! THank you for all your prayers! We are so blessed!!
