Today has been tough to say the least.....last night Eli's fever came down and never came back. I was so excited!!! Then this morning we had the MRI "just to make sure everything was OK". Well, as things have gone lately, everything was not OK. Eli has lesions on his brain. They are not concentrated, and it is not a tumor, but they are there still there. We do not know if it is just the chemo that has caused this, or a virus. If it is the chemo, it would mean that there was some damage done, and it may repair itself. If it is viral, it could be trouble. The oncologist seems to think it may be the chemo and that means that we will have to change out protocol some. We will have another MRI at the end of the week and talk to a neurologist this week as well. So we are hoping again for the lesser of the two evils, and we will deal with this roadbump, too. We are continuing to take the steroids which have him in a fine mood...only a couple more days of that. I am home tonight trying to spend some time with my other boys...it is nice to get back into a normal life for one night. Tomorrow I go back to the hospital with my little one....keep us in your prayers!!
