Tom had a full body bone scan and a chest CAT scan on Monday (June 15). Today (Tuesday, June 16) they're taking him for an upper body MRI. They are certainly being thorough.
Sorry folks, but there's no definitive update to give...
Tom ate better, and kept it down, and slept a lot yesterday. They're transitioning him from one set of drugs to another, so it looks like he and I might have to stay a couple more days in Calgary, even after we have the diagnosis.
By evening he was feeling good enough to play video games and watch WWE, so I was glad Mike was around to watch the wrestling with him - that's sure not my fave!
By the way, some might be wondering why we feel the Relay is so important, as on the surface you might not think it benefits Thomas. In actual fact, the care and treatment Thomas has and will receive is directly attributable to previous Relays and fundraising efforts - so we feel it's important to 'pay it forward' for future families.
Things we're grateful for:
* the thoroughness of Thomas' medical team
* the creativity of the pain management specialists
* Laura's boss, Lila, for delivering a casserole to the house for the girls
* the support given to the Together for Thomas Relay team. It appears their original target was too modest - thank you, everyone, let's keep it going!
* the love of family and friends
* each of our four children
P.S. If you'd like to support the Relay, but prefer to not pledge online, please call the house or contact someone on the team directly and you can pledge your cash or cheque.
P.P.S. Happy Birthday to David (Bernie and Eileen's son)!
God bless you all,
Thomas' Mom
