And back up we go!

Bret put a call in to the head doctor on Friday after our appointment. She had gone over the latest x-rays and his previous x-rays and feels that the spot on the arm was there before. They missed it. This is good news for the moment. Hopefully it means that it hasn't gotten bigger during treatment and that we can forge ahead with plan A for the moment. I am still guarded and don't feel that we are out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination. Though it is good news based on what we were thinking may be going on - it is bad news that there is indeed another spot. And if they missed this one initially, what does that mean? There may be other small spots that they missed?

We head back down tomorrow morning for his chemo treatment that was bypassed on Thursday and a heart sonogram to rule out other issues there. I am taking a deep breath and trying to relax and enjoy every moment.

He is just the best little guy! He is such a trooper and so happy! He is getting fatter by the day thanks to the prednisone - but he's still a cutie! Here are some photos from our trip out to Bodega Bay.
