Dr. Claire just left and let us know a few key things. I'll go into more detail in the morning, as it has been a long day.
The growth the doctors saw on the cat scan does seem to appear to be bleeding and swelling surrounding the tumor. We don't know 100%, but that's what it looks like to the radiologists. Dr. Claire has more questions for them that she will hopefully get clarity on in the next day or so.
This is good news compared to the alternative. The bleeding and swelling are things the docs can try to control by simply keeping Jack's blood counts and his body focused on healing rather than breathing. He will be on the respirator until they feel like the bleeding and swelling are headed in the right direction.
We love Dr. Claire and always feel blessed and comforted to know that she is leading the team here in taking the best care of Jack.
More in the morning!
Love you all,
April
Prayers continuing. . .
ReplyDeleteJack, everything is in place now for a yoga class that will be taught and practiced in your honor. We have a beautiful space and radio time donated to get the word out. There will be a group of many gathered with one intention for the practice....supporting you and your comfort and healing and faith. I bet you'll feel the love all the way from the West Coast. I'll keep you posted with our progress and send photos of the class. January 15th 10AM.....Yoga for Jack. :) If anyone following the blog cannot attend but would like to donate please contact April or since she's got her hands full I have the web site information where you can make a secure tax deductible donation to benefit Jack and the family. You can contact me at yogaforjack@gmail.com
