The Tests Begin

It’s not often that Monday is better than Sunday, but this is an exception. Peter seems so much better. His voice is stronger, he’s sitting a little more upright and he even managed some little smiles this morning. Auntie G said that she hadn’t seen a toothy smile yet, but any kind of smile is progress. Maybe soon he’ll be able to enjoy some of the wonderful toys that are filling his room.

Let me get to the real update now. He had a bone scan at 3:30 this afternoon to determine if the bones have been affected at this point. When he returned in the wheelchair, brave and strong, we were prepared to wait until tomorrow for any results. At about 5 PM, a doctor came to the room and announced that this scan came back negative; The cancer hasn’t spread to his bones in the manner that this test would indicate.

So we’ve been celebrating this one victory, knowing that there’s still a lot of tests ahead of him. A few happy tears are a welcome sight.

  2. God Bless All of you. We are cousin Macy’s Neighbor. Peter is in our prayers and we have added Peter and your family into our nightime prayer because it is my deep belief that God hears the prayers of every child. I can’t imagine what you are going through but I know you have a very tight knit family and love and prayer will guide you through this.
    God Bless you and be with you through this hard time.

    Love-
