MRI UPDATE

The MRI result's provided good news. There has been no change to the questionable area of enhancement. Though we continue to wish the area would "melt" away, the medical team is quick to inform that no change is great news. The area could represent damages from prior surgeries and radiation, necrotic tissue, or other evolving by-products of treatment. It could also represent "sleeping" tumor but only time will answer these questions. The next MRI will be in early February 2009 (another 90 day's) and Claire will continue to be monitored by the Sutter Oncology Team.

Claire continues to shine. She is enjoying life and is always doing something to amaze us. At a recent trip to the Mall she caught site of Santa Claus (He does seem to be getting out earlier and earlier). He asked Claire what she might want this year and her reply was "I think I have enough stuff. I would really just like to visit my Audrey in Oregon". These type of statements are made on a daily basis by this most incredible child. (For those who don't know, Audrey is Claire's newest cousin who lives in Oregon).

Thanks so much for loving, hoping, and praying for Claire. It is working!!!
