Good News!!!

Abby had a CT scan and MRI last Friday. The CT scan showed that her chest, lungs, and abdomen were all clear. The MRI showed shrinkage in the entire tumor! We don't yet know if it was enough shrinkage to postpone surgery again. The tumor is still around the brain, but is smaller there.

We have been enjoying our time at home with the exception of Abby being unable to walk. She has been doing physical therapy twice a week and can at least stand now. She can take steps with assistance, but so far has not taken any without help.

She enjoyed a visit by her favorite teacher, Mrs. Lisa, on Sunday and has spent time with both of her grandmas, whose help we very much appreciate.

Friday, we were coming through Nashville at the start of the Relay for Life, so we made a quick stop to meet Lillie, who is a three year survivor of rhabdo. It was great to finally meet her and her family and to see someone else who has beaten this.
