Wylie is almost finished with radiation. 2 more treatments next week. i don't believe the doctors expected him to be doing so well during this period. i have to believe God and his great wisdom steered us in the right direction for his natural healing methods as well. Clinical trials are being done with fantastic results with the herb Boswellia and digestive enzymes are the key to attacking brain tumors. We are doing this on our own with the radiation. It gives the radiation a better chance at getting to the tumors. We have to tell his body these tumors are not normal proteins coatings. That is why they don't attack them normally. I think they are listening. We had exciting news last week when Dr. Shu showed us the ventricles were opening up in his brain, the radiation may have shrink the tumors, a little on the new growth. They expected more swelling over this period. But his got better! Over the past 2 weeks the strength has come back in his right hand. He can walk better also. Not much change in his vision as of yet. We will take anything we can get at this point. We will do another MRI DEC 1st to see if we have tumor decrease or re-growth. We could have a honeymoon for 6 month, that period is key. Most aggressive tumors take off after that period. It will be a wait and see period. I believe God has a special purpose for Wylie and his destiny is far from over.We pray everyday for our son and his health and healing. A miricle did occur we think. Wylie felt a shift in his body suddenly a few weeks ago. He thought he was dying, shocking pain came from his body and horrible headaches, he said God ws asking his to solve math problems and God wanted to know exactly where the tumors were. He started to improve the next day as we held our breath. He is an awesome child with so much love for everyone. We had a great visit from his aunt Jenny(who is just learning to walk after a severe auto trauma), Grandma pat, uncle Jim, and Cousin Walker from Florida. We also had Great Aunt Wendy from New York, and Cousins Mike and Terri from Marietta this past weekend. They came to attend the motorcycle ride for Wylie and visit.
The motorcycle event was fun,we had a great time with three bands and food. Wylie enjoyed his day so much. Thanks to the help of so many people it was a great success. Bridgett Parrot was the organizer. Thank you to everyone who sponsored and participated. Thank you to his school teachers for their help.
Wylie is doing well in school. He has good and bad days. He complains of headaches and some nausea on and off. He is having a little hearing problems (he always has suffered from selective hearing). Radiation can cause a variety of symptoms. He has a roaring in his ear. Overall he tolerates it all like a champ. Being tired out is his complaint. We all have forgotten what sleep is. After Wed of next week we hope to say goodbye to the 430 wake up call. Alarm will be thrown out the window.
