Hi everyone!! I know it’s
been so long, but I have a quick update on my little brother for you!
Things have been going so
well; maybe even better than ever! Just recently he got his Hickman removed.
For those of you who don’t know what a Hickman is, it’s a port that is
connected directly to his bloodstream. It was used to draw all of the blood
they tested, and it was also used to receive chemotherapy and all of Mason’s
other medications, such as his anti-fungal. It’s basically an intravenous, or
IV, line in his chest. Getting that taken out was a huge deal!
He also got an MRI of his
brain yesterday and all is clear there as well. Go Mason! As we approach the 6-month
post transplant coming up in December, we can’t help but feel anxious but
excited. As things progress on this way, we can’t help but have a strong faith
that we are so close to the Emerald City. We know that in reality it’s pretty far
away, but we’ve never been as close as we are today, and with each passing day
we only get closer.
Thank you everyone for the
continual prayers and good wishes. We do the same for all of you every day. We
hope all is going this well for you, too!
