Colin's MRI Results... and so Much More

Colin enjoyed three nights on the prowl (i.e. outpatient) before a planned admission on Friday for chemo to start on Saturday.

Decisions, Decisions

We have finally figured out an enormously important piece of Colin’s complicated oncological puzzle.

Revamping

Well, the official read of Thursday’s MRI is in: no metastasis!

I’m Considering, I’m Considering…

Colorblind James Experience is much more obscure than Paul Simon, but fortunately they have a MySpace page, so anyone unfamiliar with the band can find their tune “Considering a Move to Memphis” online.

Colin has been at the center of a whirlwind of activity.

The weekend has been eventful in many ways, and Colin now hovers at the brink of the next step in his treatment, installation of the shunt and replacement mediport.

Colin may have a budding career as a Geico caveman, or perhaps a more mundane sideshow act as a wolf boy.

Awaiting the G-Tube

On Wednesday, Colin was scheduled to repeat the swallow study, though it was widely thought that he would likely fail.

Signs and Omens

The unlayering of knowledge and understanding that comes with the process of an unfolding medical situation is distressing, frustrating and immutable.

Post-Surgical Review

Dr. Wisoff gave us a quick post-surgical report, even before surgery was over (Dr. Harter was overseeing the closing procedure).

Please join us in helping St. Jude! On Saturday, November 19, we are participating in the New York City St. Jude Give Thanks. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, though we originally registered for the one in Meriden, CT. (Confusing, I know, but we like to keep people on their toes.)

There are 80 walks across the country, and registration is free if you would like to participate. Support our team or create your own to help in the fundraising. Even a few dollars make a difference.

Colin has received the bulk of his care at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which performs invaluable research on childhood cancers and other lifethreatening illnesses and provides its services absolutely free of charge to all patients. We ask that you consider St. Jude for your charitable giving to help reduce suffering and improve the lives of children across the world. St. Jude received a five-star rating on Charity Navigator!
