Great Day

Monday July 6 was exactly 7 months since Cooper's first MRI when we heard the words "there is something there." Thankfully also on Monday he went to a pool party with his friends.

Tuesday we went to KC and Cooper had his MRI scan. We then went to the HemOnc Clinic and saw the oncologists.

The radiologist had not sent the report on the MRI yet but the oncologists said they thought everything looked good and were well pleased with his progress. Also they took him off the Depakote - the anti-seizure medicine - which was the only med he was taking YEA! (Do say a prayer that he has no seizures). As per the protocol, they scheduled his next MRI for 3 months from now in October.

Wednesday we went to see the neurosurgeon. He said he had seen the MRI and all look good. He too was pleased with Cooper's progress and said he did not need to see Cooper for 6 months!

Of course words cannot express how grateful we are. Thankful that we have a fine facility with amazing doctors and nurses to have cared for Cooper and for the even more amazing friends and family who continue to provide love and support.

We ask that you continue to pray not only for Cooper but also for Jillian, Karson, Bethany, Liam, Jay, Trace, Jaxon, and all the childhood victims of cancer. And please say a special prayer for a young lady named Jessica who has been fighting a VERY tough battle.

with much love,
RSC
