Michael Jr.'s (a.k.a. Kai's) update


Sweet Michael Sr. took Kai into Primary Children's Medical Center today for the latest round of CT and skeletal scans followed by Kai's routine check-up and chemotherapy. This is the first time that daddy has done the whole routine alone and I think he was pleasantly surprised to see that he survived the ordeal. (Hence the reason I call him sweet). He was nervous with having to deal with a wiggly 3-year-old who would much rather be running and playing than have to be still for medical procedures and treatment, but everyone came home in one piece and with very positive news.

Kai had his ups and downs, but overall the trip was a success. The scans showed that his spleen and liver are now back down to their original size and all the boney lesions throughout his skeletal structure are showing signs of progressive healing. This was all great news as it appears that his condition really is in remission and we will only have to endure 6 more months of chemotherapy.

We knew going into this that Kai was a sturdy boy and a fighter and his body is indeed doing just what it should. We feel blessed to have such a positive outcome at this point and are expecting to have much of the same in the future.

Thanks to everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers. We love you all!
