Well since I last wrote Meghan has gotten the results of her MRI and the swelling is almost gone. They will proceed with the chemo in her spine tomorrow but they are changing the drug. She is scheduled for a CT scan today and hopefully going down to dentistry to remove the cement from her braces that haven't been removed yet. Each day may not seem like much improvement but we are having tiny baby steps forward, like we're up to 2 walks a day as of yesterday, drinking 3 cups of tea instead of tea and eating alittle bit more than the day before and I mean alittle bit. Meghan has lost all of her fluid she has gained since she's been here plus some. She is still on morphine which everyday they've been lowering it and she's still on TPN and lipids which is her food and fats because she's really not eaten much. Our goal obviously is to get her eating which is hard because she gets full very easy and up walking and building up her strength. She's lost over 40 pounds since she's been her and now we have to get her strong. We love and appreciate all your emails, prayers and good wishes we need them today and especially tomorrow. We don't have a home day yet but we take one day at a time.

Thank you to all of you for you kind words and thoughts.

Love Michelle, Joe, Josh, Meghan & Jamie
