Another MRI- Finally Good News!! :)

Rachel had her 2-month MRI last Thursday and it actually went well. We are thrilled to report that the Neurosurgeon and Oncologist felt the cancer had improved and the radiologist is convinced it's the same. All 3 of them agree that there's no new growth and that's all we care about. The hospital got a new machine and it's more detailed so that's why there is disagreement between the doctors. We're going to keep her on the same chemo that she has been taking at home- yeah! We've had to delay chemo this time because her blood cell counts are so low. She almost had to get a blood transfusion last Friday but her platelet count went up on its own. Her immune system is very weak right now so she's been stuck at home more and has only really left to go to appointments. She has not been able to play with her cousins because they have been sick. :( Her counts should be better in a week or two and then we can relax a little bit about germs. I just thank God that she's too young to care that she's stuck at home.
