Happy Valentines Day to you all! We took Loggie to the hospital today and although we hoped we’d have more answers for you all we don’t yet. They are definitely going to go ahead with radiation. They have proposed a full brain and spine radiation. We are a bit concerned about the risks of doing that and don’t know if we agree with it. The other option is just to radiate the postier fossa (or back half of her brain) where most of the disease is. Either way we are thinking that we will have to begin with a surgery before we do anything to alleviate some of the pressure from the tumor in the brainstem. The surgeon is going to call me to discuss when he gets home on Saturday. We will be having a spinal MRI and a spinal tap next week to see if there is any new cells in the spine…and today she got a couple of hours of fluids which seemed to help her feel better. Hopefully we won’t have to go back to the hospital for the weekend but that will depend on her eating and drinking. Thank you all for your prayer and beautiful words of support and kindness. This is an incredibly difficult time and we know that the weeks and months ahead are going to be more of the same…but hearing from you all has helped to give us a bit of a boost. We have been doing this for a very long time and sometimes staying positive is getting a bit harder. We are trying very hard not to lose our momentum and having your support has helped.
