All's clear

The doctor told us today that the cultures drawn on Tuesday just before we were discharged are officially negative. He drew another culture today, only because that's what the doctor from the hospital wanted. But, he doesn't feel that James has an infection. In fact, he checked his white count and it was normal. Incidentally, his hemoglobin was 11.3. That is REALLY good for James. Let's pray that James can simply enjoy the rest of the summer.

As far as the MRI results...I have decided to "hold on." I have started him on supplements that should help with edema, should that be what was really on the MRI. If we do another scan in about 3-4 weeks, and make it a PET scan or spectroscopy, we should be able to see what is tumor and what is something else and also see if anything has improved. Please continue to pray for James - I'm not sure how...but God does.
