GOOD NEWS!!!!

Hi All,

Sorry to keep you waiting, we did get Devon's MRI results last week in January and can't believe what we heard. The tumor shrunk a few millimeters all around which is a-typical this late in treatment according to her Neuro-Oncologist. In addition, the tumor has developed several cysts in the middle which may be an indication of tumor cells dying. We can't tell you how blessed we feel to get such good news. As a result of this reaction, her doctor has decided to keep Devon on chemo for another six months. 

When Sean told Devon that he had good news - bad news she knew immediately what the answer was.  She said "my tumor shrunk and I have to continue with the chemo" right? Although she is a little upset with the continuation of chemo she was happy with the results. We promised her a pool party in the summer to celebrate the end of chemo and hopefully the end of tumor (if there is such a thing).

They are both back to swimming and continue to do great in school.  We are so proud of them.   Although they are both looking forward to spring and summer, they truly enjoyed the 26" of snow we got today.  With Duffy at their heels they jumped through the snow and made snow angels and were back in after 15 minutesLaughing.   Everytime I see them playing and being happy little children, I can't help but think how lucky and blessed we are.

So those prayers and good wishes are working. Therefore, pls keep them coming, not just for us but for all of our BT children and their families like Genna, Rosie, Kyle, Lilly, Kira, Lexie, Luke, Jaclyn, Brielle, Zack, Emily, Terry, Samantha, Jake and many many more.

As always, thank you for visiting Devon's site and sending us your thoughts and prayers. Devon does still read the blog and guest entries although we have been attending to this site much less frequently.
