Nice Pictures!

The preliminary reading on Claire's recent MRI are good. We were informed via a phone call today that the pictures appear to show stable "disease". The enhancement has not grown. Claire will be presented at Tuesday's Tumor Board and we will be informed of the group opinion soon after. The fact that the questionable area is remaining stable presents the possibility that what we are seeing is necrotic tissue or debris remaining from treatment and surgeries. Of course we would love to have the enhancment disapear, but this news is warmly accepted.

Claire is scheduled to start Kindergarten on Monday and is very excited to go to "Ryan's School". We will update with information as it develop's.

Claire is a very fortunate child to have the love and support of so many. I have said this before but all of your thought, prayer, and love has had an impact on her story. She has made miraculous progress and at this point is a medical mystery. The Doc's really dont have much to say as to how or why she is on the positive side of very dismal stastistics. They continue to warn us of the "high risk" for recurence but we look forward with a strong belief that Claire has work to do on this earth.

She is doing it!!
