CT scan update

Dear friends and family,

We went to Children's Hospital this afternoon (Tuesday 15 April) expecting to have a CT scan to give us an update as to how Harry's treatment is progressing. Unfortunately, the prep staff at Children's CT didn't think about the fact that Harry is now so active that he would need to be sedated for the CT scan.

As our doctor said, "They knew he had a previous scan and they remembered he had been so still and cooperative. They forgot about the fact that he was quite sick then and he is much better now."

The radiologist was impressed to see Harry. He commented on how great he looks and how active he is now, which is all wonderful -- except for the fact that he needs to lie still for the scan!

So, our doctor was able to pull some strings and line up an anaesthesiologist for tomorrow morning early. Harry and I need to be at the hospital at 7:30 so he can be prepped for his scan, which will happen at 9:00 am.

We ask for your prayers as we get ready for this CT scan. We know just from looking at Harry and seeing his smaller tummy and watching his energy level that the tumours are shrinking, but the scan will tell us how much. We ask for your intentional prayers that his liver tumours are shrinking and that his lungs, bladder, and kidneys are all clear (which would be the best-case scenario).

Thank you all so much. Love and blessings,

Cynthia
