This just in! (Well....as of June 30th.) =)

Just got back from Jude's 6 month check-up in Memphis, and it's good news again! No evidence of cancer....Wahoo! All the remaining areas that were once tumors are just scar tissue slowly eliminating itself. Nothing new has grown. In his physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy evaluations, he has improved also. No hearing test this time, but again we were reminded about protecting his ears from loud noises. All his labwork looks good as well. He had a pill swallowing session with the psychologist, and he is now able to swallow pretty large gel capsules! He learned to do this in about 15 minutes like he's been doing it all his life. (Amazing what he can do when he knows he's going to get a new rock!) He has gained about a pound and a half since our last check up 3 months ago, and grew about half an inch. He still needs his weight gain shakes, but his appetite has improved slightly, which is good. We are so happy and grateful for all the progress he has made! This time last year, he was barely beginning to take his first steps and trying to walk again and we were preparing to begin the chemo portion of his treatment at St. Jude. He's come a long way, and we are so happy he is doing so well. St. Jude is a wonderful place. Thankyou so much for every single one of your prayers and caring thoughts! Love you all very much!!
