A Night For Prayers
Hello all.
Shannon and I had made some huge decisions in the past weeks. Ultimately we chose to inform our medical team that we would end maintenance chemo. We had begun the planning process for Claire's next steps and had a scheduled MRI this morning. We recieved a phone call at 8:45 pm informing us that the MRI showed some new enhancement that was not seen on prior MRI's. It was the call we have dreaded. Over the next several days Claire will undergo more tests and MRI's preparing her for a monday brain surgery to remove the questionable "nodule". It will be a full craniatomy but the initial phone conversation with our lead oncologist tonight was positive. She had met into the evening reviewing the pictures with Claire's neuro-surgeon, and he feels confident in the ability to remove the possible tumor with minimal risk to Claire's function. I dont know what else to say other than please pray and give positive thoughts to Claire and our family. I can think of nothing but a positive outcome showing that the enhancing growth is necrotic scar tissue.
We will update when we can.

Dear Miller family, I am sorry to hear the news about Claire's upcoming surgery. Please know that you are surrounded with the finest doctors, the best of friends and a family that would trade places with you in a heartbeat to take even a morsel of the pain and stress away. I am choosing to believe there is a reason for the surgery. Perhaps this setback is needed in order to continue progress in the right direction. I love you all and will be working hard on Monday sending positive messages to everyone involved. Hugs and more hugs, Heather (Aalgaard)
Super Claire is a miracle in every sense of the word. I pray that God would continue to show His strength and healing power through your dear little girl. God will continue to sustain you all as you fight cancer...and WIN!
