Back In Tenneesee

Well, Jeni and Jude made it back to Tenneesse last week. This time they are staying at the Target house. Jeni was happy about this since it has 2 seperate bedrooms and also a small kitchen which not only gives them more room during this longer stay...but also now they can make food in the kitchen and not always have to go in the community area. This will be nice if Jude is not feeling up to going out, which sometimes is the case. But it is more lonely there I guess. There were so many people we chatted with at the Ronald McDonald house. I think maybe that is what is not as social about being at this house this time. It will be a long 4 months I would imagine.

They did another check on his spinal fluid. Spinal tap and another MRI. The fluid is clear, which is great and his brain has improved. The tumors are still in the brain, some smaller but at least none have gotten bigger, which is good. Hopefully the chemo will take care of the rest.

The spinal tap messed up the shunt and he is still in the hospital right now to have that taken care of and working properly. They are adjusting the pressure to get it working right. I will add more as I hear from Jeni and wait for pics she sends me of this new place!!!
