Hello There

Well I didn't get to the post last night.. sorry about that. As you can tell from my previous post the news is good! The doctor states there is no change in his tumor... it is holding steady. This is of course a relief for us. He told us that the longer Caleb can go with no change the better the chances are that it will remain like this over the course of his life and that he will not have complications from it. He said that Caleb's condition is good and that he is pleased with where Caleb is. He also said that the Radiologist that reviewed the scan still saw the other small areas in Caleb's brain but commented that there was no change in them and qualified them as "insignificant."

All of this was music to our ears and we were delighted to hear that his next MRI will be on a 6 month schedule as opposed to the last few which were every three months. He told us that the symptoms we are to look for are basically all visual. If he does have complications the first place they will show up will be in his vision. So far, as best we can tell, he does not have any visual impairment.. at least we know he can spot a "tacker" (aka cracker) a mile away and a grain of wiiiiice (aka rice) as he speeds by the kitchen table at 50 mph... so based on that and of course his doctor's reviews all seems pretty good so far.

Thank you all so much for thinking of us yesterday. We will continue to keep you posted. Our next appointment is at the end of November and is to review his eyes again. Please continue to pray for his healing... we so much appreciate all of you and your prayers. We fully believe that God is active in this process and we are thankful to Him for sustaining Caleb in this process.

Sincerely

Austin & Nicole
