A Smidge of Good News....

Just a quick post to tell you that we heard back from the doctors today and that James' spinal tap came back "clean". Yay! Previously, we had discussed the MRI spine images with doctors and they had told us that they felt that JT's medulloblastoma had not "seeded" down his spine. But until the results of his post-operative lumbar puncture were back no one could tell for certain. Well, suffice to say, we're pretty happy for the little guy....we still have quite a road ahead of us..but..again, Yay!

Currently JT is resting up for a long day of both PT and OT tomorrow. On top of that we're all gearing up for JT's sixth birthday on Saturday. We'll celebrate with a very small, quite "Superheros" party - well, as small and quiet as a Superhero party can be. The only request JT has for his party is that he have six balloons. One Superman, one Batman, one Spiderman and one each, plain black, blue and red. I suspect that we can fulfill that one wish (along with a few surprises.)

Love to you all and please enjoy a fun, safe Fourth of July weekend!

Hi Don, sending positive energy your way and to your entire family, especially James. Those smidges are good things indeed, and I along with my family will continue to pray for even bigger smidges of good news for you. Your family is in my thoughts. Take good care, Maggie @ DBC.

Here's a big YAY! from the Harris family on the lack of crumbs. That's an excellent smidge of good news.
We're thinking of you all the time, James. And Tate would love to come visit when you're up for it. Just tell your mum or dad to let us know, OK?
If we don't see you before Saturday, Happy Birthday, buddy!
