Kyla had an MRI this morning in San Francisco and then an appointment with Dr. Chang. The small spot of enhancement they were watching has increased in size somewhat. Dr. Chang said it can be a number of things. It could be tumor regrowth (we are praying that this is not the case), necrosis (dead tissue) from the medication doing its job (this is what I, MOM, choose to think it is) or it could be because Kyla finished taking the last of her Decadron (steroids for swelling in the brain) a week ago. Of course it wasn't what Kyla wanted to hear this soon.....she and we all wanted to hear that the scan is clean. But she is so strong....an inspiration to us all. We love you Kyla!! So she goes back to San Francisco in four weeks for another scan.
People are amazing! Another patient of Dr. Chang's and her husband donated airline tickets to Kyla and Jed for this trip. So they flew to San Francisco on Sunday and were home Monday afternoon. Much nicer than that 10 hour trip each way.
Emma stayed with Gram and Grandad and as usual we had a grand time swimming, feeding the chickens and reading Curious George about 1000 times.
