Update on Baby James

Baby James had a long day yesterday. Some good news came out of it as well as some bad news. Here's a quick summary: The CT scans show that the remaining tumors are responding to the chemo. That is wonderful news. The bad part is that they are still relatively big. It looks like at least 2 more surgeries are going to need to be done to try and remove more of the tumors. That's a lot for a little baby to have to go through as the surgeries are pretty invasive. James has also been having some issues with high blood pressure. They are trying to control it and have needed to keep a close eye on his heart because of it. There are other things going on as well so please check out her blog if you are interested, the link is at the end of this post.

Jennifer, his mom, sounds so tired. Her and her husband have a lot to deal with...add on no sleep, caring for a second child, the financial aspect of it all, and trying to stay employed while spending as much time at the hospital with your child as possible and you can see why they need so much prayer. Please remember them and pray specifically for strength, rest, and peace as they travel this road.
