All in a Day's Work (Tues. update #2)
Things are progressing as planned at the Fletcher Allen Health Care Children's Hospital today. Paul has gotten platelets, had an EKG, had minor surgery, gotten a dose of Zometa, been hydrated, and is currently almost done with a round of chemo... and it's only 3 pm VT time! We continue to be amazed at the level of care we receive from the VT team. Not only are they extremely helpful and caring, and amazingly competent, but also incredibly efficient... Thank you, Lord!
When I talked with T, Paul had requested chips, and nurse Kevin was on a mission to locate some for him. Paul continues to be fever-free and naseau-free, so THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS! Somehow, in the middle of all they accomplished today, T was able to sit down with Dr. Sholler for about an hour to discuss a game-plan for Paul. The bad news is that she has not had success with his tumor "sample" that she was working on in her lab because apparently, it has been extremely slow-growing. (During his bone marrow biopsy today, she extracted more cells to continue trying). The good news is that she definitely sees some options for us and is excited about a couple new things that we hadn't heard of previously. I wasn't able to get the details, but will post more later.
Overall, the little P-man is doing well and looking forward to another trip to the ECHO museum... Hey - we're all about FUN here!!!

Just keep hanging in there! I am still praying for you. I pray that God will continue to show you the blessings in the midst of all the uncertainty and that you will feel his unchanging love for Paul and the rest of you!

So glad to read the positive post. It is amazing when we think we know all the options that something new comes up. It is always nice to have a plan and I'm glad VT is not giving up.
