Hi everyone! We're so excited to share great news about Jayla! While it's not the news we long to hear someday (no evidence of disease and cancer free!), we are so grateful for her progress. And we know we'll get that miraculous news someday! Jayla had her MIBG scan done at CHLA on April 10 and her MRI at Rady's on April 18, and today we finally received word that both reports have been reviewed by both doctors. Jayla's main tumor is still shrinking, and a few tumors have disappeared! No new cancer either! Because of this, the doctors say no further chemo treatment or surgery at this time! Such huge answers to prayer!!!

Her docs also gave the ok to remove Jayla's port! We are so excited to have this removed. It has been tough seeing this foreign object protrude from her little body, and there's so much risk of infection she carries with this (we've already been in the ER once and admitted for a few nights, so we don't care to go back!). Her surgeon is booking out to the middle of summer, however they had an opening become available, which is pretty rare they say, so we are grateful to have this taken out next week! She is scheduled for surgery Monday morning (May 6). Please keep her in your prayers!

Jayla will have her next scans in August. They want her to have scans every 4 months, then the next year will be every 6 months, then the following year and thereafter will hopefully be just yearly. Anesthesia is a huge concern for us, so we discussed other potential options with the CHLA docs. They are scheduling an ultrasound while we're in LA for her MIBG scan, and if they are able to easily visualize her main tumor on ultrasound, we will cancel the MRI. This can save her some anesthesia and she'll no longer have to do MRIs. Big prayers for this!!

There are SO many things to praise God for. Thank you to each and every one of you for being with us on this journey and praying so heavily for Jayla! God has been moving, He's been so faithful and we have felt so held by Him! 

Can't thank you enough for continued prayers. We will continue to update with any news and prayer requests!
