Getting closer!

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!
