09/18/2007 - MRI #2

We have received the results from Caitlyn's MRI that she had on Monday.

They are not as positive as we were hoping for. Although they still show hope. The tumor has increased in size by 20% and the tumor mass has changed form. Dr. Goldman says the results are not conclusive as to what the tumor is doing. The tumor shows a change in mass form. Before it was a solid mass. Now it is like a misshaped wedding band. There is a black mass with a white band around it. This can mean one of two things -- the tumor is dying or the tumor is growing. They want to watch her closely and do another MRI in 4 weeks. They feel with the next MRI they will be able to tell us for sure if it is dying or growing.

Caitlyn still remains symptom free. She is showing signs of fatigue and irritability. Which can be a sign of tumor re-grow or it could mean she is just tired.

We will continue to pray that this is going in the right direction and put this in Gods hands because that is all we can do for now. Please continue to pray for Caitlyn. We would like to thank everyone for your out pour of thoughts and prayers for Caitlyn. You all have made her feel so special.

Thank you.
