Braxton had an early morning at the U of M today. A 6:45 arrival for a PET scan, to check out a shadow on his right arm, turned into another 2 hour delay or so. Braxton has grown very patient with going here and there and just waiting til his name is called. He checked into his new room for this weekend and has another teenage roomate. He will be leaving on friday, though, so we'll see who else checks in. Maybe Brax will have a room to himself for a day or so. Armed with a tub full of video games, a computer, and his basketball bracket for the BIG games Braxton is as ready as ever for another 5 day stay. Brad is with him today and tonite.
We waited all day for Dr. Koo to come back with results from the scan and he, finally, did at around 5 pm. Braxton has another tumor on his right arm. I don't know exactly where it is or how big since I wasn't at the hospital when the doctor spoke to Brad. However, the tumor will be treated in the same way as the other cancer in Braxton's knee. Chemo therapy will work on it. The good news is that there seems to be improvement in his knee area from the first chemo treatment last week! That is very good news indeed!
Bayley, Zoe and David went to visit Brax after school and I stayed home with Emma who has a weird rash on her face. Not major but shouldn't be passed around the hospital.
more tomorrow... posted by Beth
