SO incredibly grateful!!!
Mitchell did great yesterday and after a MRI haste this morning, things were clear and he got his shunt taken out!!! We are back to where we were before and it feels so good. The best part is Mitchell feels great and looks amazing. They say it's too soon for the radiation to work, but I swear he looks better. Trying not to get hopes up, but so excited. As I said before we feel so confident that he is going to get better.
On a terribly sad and strangely coincidental note, a family from our ward arrived yesterday with their daughter (Ashley Merrell) and she has neuroblastoma. There are only 650 diagnosed a year for her condition, and the boy who gets radiation after us lives off Speyers (a street in Selah), which is only one street away from this little girl and has neuroblastoma. My mind is thinking something has to be up with these coincidences. Plus Mitchell's cancer is more rare (about 300/yr) and he is in the same community of 7,000 as both these kiddos. Mind blowing! Anyhow, please keep them on your prayers too. We are excited to have someone to serve.

Still praying for your son and those other kids. I know it seems like a weird coincidence, but I told my mom what was going on with your family and the two others. She said the CDC (Center for Disease Control) might be interested in that, just in case there's anything going on in that area. You never know I guess. Anyways, we're all pulling for you and hope Mitchell keeps his spirits up having to be in there over the holidays. I'll keep checking in on y'all and hope for the best.
