Gabrielle has been doing great and had lots of fun over Christmas and New Year. It's always heart warming to watch the kids open gifts and to have time off to play and interact with them. Before her diagnoses Gabrielle was a little shorty being in the 10th percentile for height for her age, but over the past 23 months since her surgery, she has moved from 10th to 75th percentile in height and weight. Jackson too has been growing like a weed, he is also in the 60-70 percent height, but slim.
The holidays are always fun but the new year brings new scans, and associated anxiety/optimism. We scan next week, and are hoping for continued stable scans. If the MRI scan results are stable it would be her first back-to-back stable report. That is our first step to seeing long-term stability, and hopefully a cure many years from now. If there is continued slow growth, we will have to revisit how much room is left between the tumor and the spinal canal and if or when additional surgery would be warranted. We will be posting an update late next week as soon as we get the scan results.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
