MRI tomorrow, please pray!

This week has been filled with appointments.  Yesterday was ENT and pulminology, today is  oncology and chemo infusion, tomorrow is MRI and meeting with radiation oncologist.

To start with yesterday's news...
Hearing test showed more hearing loss.  We think it's enough that he needs his 
hearing aids adjustedIt's disappointing but not the end of the world.  
Pulmonology went wonderful!!! 
His lung function test went 
from 85% to 110%.  He has two good, strong lungs! :-)  
We are weaning him off the inhaled steroids and 
he still is off all oxygen.

Today's news...
Blood counts look better! We are a little suspicious that the 
bactrim is causing some problems 
with his counts. Definitely are going to keep an eye on that.  
He was able to get his avastin (IV chemo) and 
he will start oral chemo tonight.

Tomorrow...
MRI early in the morning! Yes, we are nervous, but we know he is in God's hands. 
 Please pray for Nolan tomorrow and for all of us. 
 This is a really big day and deciding factor in his treatments.
I will post the results as soon as I know on his facebook page.

The facebook page has been helpful in informing everyone with short, quick updates.
 Nolan has also loved seeing all he messages and likes.
He updated his status the other day with "I like it" for those who saw and wondered? lol
He just wanted everyone to know how much he enjoyes seeing all the post and encouraging messages! I will still update the blog, it just takes a while to have time to sit down and write ;-)
Thank you all for your love, support and prayers!!!

When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
