Theory #1

We certainly were happy to see negative findings on the full body CT yesterday. However, we still are left with questions and no answers to all the symptoms...only a theory or two. The prime theory at this point is that all these symptoms are the result of some wacked out immune disregulation - thus the fever, pains here and there, lumps, weird CBC numbers, etc. Theoretically, the 3F8 action on the tumor or as it interacts with and kills tumor could bring all this about. Perhaps the drug action IS inflammation. If that is the case then you don't want to treat the inflammation with steriods or anti-inflammatory drugs since it could be killing tumor, yet Paul is in pain. It's a Catch 22. We are on a treat pain and watch plan right now. Please pray for this: 1) pain will go away, and we'll soon see the end of this mess; 2) fever will go away. The Lord keeps telling us to trust Him. That's what we are doing.

Praying that God will give the medical team and you wisdom on the best method of treatment. Also praying for mercy and relief for Paul, who sounds to be braver than most adults I know! We praise God for His faithfulness and trust with you that He will provide for all of you.
