Hello everyone!
We have good news about Jackson's MRI yesterday. This MRI shows significant improvement from the last MRI in May. The oncologist are now pretty confident that the spots that appeared on the MRI in March are in fact radiation injury. Thank God for all of the answered prayers. The last three months have been hell for us just wondering what these spots are. If they were cancer recurrence, then Jackson's prognosis would not be good. His oncologist wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and wait to see what happens rather than jump to conclusions. So she did and thank goodness!
Jack's hearing test went well today. Still some loss in the high frequency ranges, but nothing that will affect day to day life. Tomorrow Jackson will have his port removed and some blood work done to begin checking his hormone levels. The high doses of radiation he had, most of the time, effect hormone production such as thyroid, cortisol, and growth hormones. They will be keeping a close eye on these things. All in all things are going well. From here on out, we will probably only have to make the SF trip every three months from now on. YAY! Thanks to everyone for all of the continued prayers and support!

Hello Flick Family!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear all of the positive news!!! Its such a relief to know that Jackson's hearing loss has remained in the high frequency ranges and won't be affecting his speech range. I'm thrilled that Jackson will be free of his port as of tomorrow! I bet he's really excited about getting it removed. I hope that Jackson will have a quick and painless recovery after having his port removed. I hope we can see you guys again soon! Take care!
Love,
Monica Cortez
Praise the Lord!!! I am so happy to hear that Jackson is doing well. Happy for all of you!
