Almost Finished....

So, Patrick is in his final full week of radiation. The treatments to the brain were completed last week. He continues to keep busy during the week, then comes home on the weekends to relax. He will finish his first summer semester of college next week; the last summer session will be independent study, so he will be able to spend all of his time out at Camp Carl.I will miss having him around, but am happy that he can return to some semblance of normalcy. He will have a complete MRI on the 25th of this month, then will meet with Dr. Hudgins to find out the results- on the 30th. He goes to the Oncology clinic every week for blood counts...so far those are fine- no major problems. He will need to start physical therapy at some point to increase his strength and endurance, but that probably won't happen until he's completely finished with his college classes.
I will probably wait to give an update until after we meet with Dr. Hudgins on the 30th. We are praying that things will continue to progress without any new problems. Thank-you everyone for your continued prayers.
