Encouraging results.

We had our appointment with Trey's oncologist today to go over the results of last week's scans. What she said was:

• His urine and blood counts are in the "normal" range, meaning his platelets look good and his ability to fight infection is in good shape
• His MIBG scans (in which neurblastoma cells show up in the scan "lit" up) are not as bright as they were in the MIBG 3 months ago, which indicates that the tumor is there but probably regressing/dying off
• The MRI showed that the tumor size was unchanged; as long as it hasn't grown, the doctor is happy

All of these results combined mean positive progress over the past 3 months. We will continue to do regular blood/urine work and the MIBG & MRI scans.

Trey has also grown by about 3 inches and 3+ pounds over the past 3-4 months, which is great.

I wanted to post a funny video of Josie and Trey in the tub making fart sounds. It's never too early to learn.

Thank you all for your prayers and offers of support.

Week of scans

Just a quick update: Trey has his 3 month follow-up scans this Tuesday --> Friday at Strong (3 radioactive scans + an MRI). Hopefully no surprises. We'll know more next week. Keep him in your prayers.
