Prayers Answered

THANK YOU, everyone, for all your prayers. We could clearly tell today that many were praying for James.

When we first arrived at the MRI, we asked the nurse if they could use the Emla cream (numbs the skin) for injecting the contrast. But, she said they didn't have Emla cream there. I could see the panic on James' face. They came and got me when it was time to inject the contrast. I stood there reminding James of all the people that were praying for him and of the stories that everyone sent to help him get through. This brave little guy got through the whole thing without a single whimper. I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM.

The MRI shows that the tumor is the same. Of course, "gone" would have been nice to hear. But, as many of you know, I was afraid of growth because James has been showing signs of memory issues. Now we know that this must be a residual of his surgery this last summer. Praise the Lord there is no growth! And, PRAISE THE LORD for all the friends that He has given us that walk with James on this path.

I am happy to hear that James is taking in some fun with hocky but I hope that he is ready to come out for some baseball sometime soon. :-) Chase says that they are trying to work it out to get James there for a ballgame soon. That new stadium is something else but there are many kinks that they have been working out too. The team just did get into their locker rooms last week.
We went to the Friends of Jacln Banquet in Washington DC last weekend, Chase was a guest speaker. What an honor and what an event. I hope to update Chase's blog soon and I will let you know when I have so you can take a look.
Take care of yourselves and please let James know that he continues to be in my prayers as well as many other people that I work with since they got to know him too when he came to our school.
Keep in touch,
