- 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.

We are so happy to hear that Trey is doing so much better, it's hard when winter comes along and we don't see eachother, the boys always ask how the Bauza's are doing! I will be happy to tell them that your family is happier and healthier this new year! Glad to hear the good news!
