A quick update

Connor's MRI scans showed NO tumor recurrence (Yay!!). His blood counts were fabulous (Over 4,000, the best yet!). His hearing test showed no hearing loss.

He had some swelling (most likely a side effect from the radiation), and he has been taking steroids to help with the edema. They are definitely helping and have also increased his appetite. Connor has gained 2 pounds since last week (mostly from Chocolate cake I'm sure lol).

He's all set to start his maintenance phase of Chemo on the 4th. He will have Chemo for 6 hours followed by 24 hours of hydration.

He's a tough guy for sure. We send our love to everyone and hope you have a fabulous New Years celebration.
