Ending of a long day.

I am happy to report that the hole in William's lung appears to healing AND the air that leaked into the cavity has been absorbed and is therefore no longer a large concern...

As with everything else related to William's treatment, I have learned so much during the past 36 hours ( I am seriously considering becoming an oncology nurse)

For those of you that are interested, here is a quick rundown of  everything that has happened..

William's Pneumothorax:

Anyway, William is spending another night at Sutter. His blood pressure has been running unusually low so we will be keeping an eye on it. If everything continues to improve then tomorrow we will be starting chemo, thus spending an additional three days at Sutter Resort and Spa.

William had his bone scan and pelvic CT scan this morning. I am a little nervous about the bone scan as halfway through the procedure the nuclear medical tech left the room to "ask the Dr. a question". When the tech returned a few minutes later he had a strange confused look on his face and stated that additional scans were needed of the spine.... I don't know what that means, nor do I want to read too much into it (but I am!) Hopefully the reports will be ready for me to "analyze" first thing in the morning.

William is doing really good. He is back to being an extremely energetic, loud, funny and messy little 8 year old boy.  Besides a little discomfort and sore chest, there is is absolutely no sign of Sir. William being sick, and this is a blessing!

We appreciate every one's prayers, phone calls, text messages, emails and visits...

Keep on keepin on.
Live Strong in God's miracle of healing.
