Hello Friends

Yesterday (Wednesday) was Caleb's MRI appointment. In our last visit (three months ago) the doctors saw slight "enhancement" in his tumor. It was not known if this enhancement was a possible sign that the tumor was going to grow or not, but they opted to bring him back after a short period to have another look.

We are so very happy to tell you that the tumor has not grown and there appears to be no further enhancement that can be seen in the scans! We are so very grateful that the news was good in that regard. Caleb was a trooper and was so brave throughout the entire day. We were able to see the Neurosurgeon on the same day - so this was another very real blessing.

Our next steps are that this Tuesday we will visit with Endocrinology where they will conduct a two hour test on Caleb to check for proper function of his pituitary gland. Please pray this day goes well because he will have to be laying down for two hours during this test and they will need to take blood several times from him. We would love prayers for peace - for us and him.

Thank you all for your love and care. There is much to be thankful for!
