I know it's been too long...

Nolan is doing better with each day and was able to get some tennis in last week.  He lOVES it when he has a chance to play with coach Kenny and any of the guys! He would be at Georgia Tech everyday if I would let him...lol!

He had clinic on Friday and did really good! After talking with Dr. Aguilera we believe the headaches and vomiting are from trying to wean him off to many medications at once.  One medication called Decadron (steroid) Nolan needs to get off as soon as he can.  Strangely he's not as moody on it as he usually is but it's causing his blood pressure to be too high.  So we had to add norvasc to the mix of meds to bring those numbers down.  Also in theory she thinks the decadron mixed with the avastin (IV chemo)  is also causing the kidney problems.   Please be in prayer that as we wean him off decadron that he won't have any more problems.  He went from one milligram to a 1/2 milligram this past week and so far so good.

I just wish I could describe how good Nolan's doing.  It's just incredible! His blood counts didn't even drop after this last round of chemo.  They actually showed improvement each week!
I truly believe that the tumor's were affecting Nolan's ability to smile and now he's smiling and laughing all the time.  I just want to cherish these happy moments forever!!
