Journal entry by Stephanie Porterfield —
Wow, it's been quite a while since I updated you! I will update you on all things Drew & Josh while I'm here.
They both had their appointments with their new oncologist here in Georgia. She is a proper Georgia girl, got her undergrad at UGA. 😜 They had their appointments on different days, but you all know that I was there with bells on, taking notes.
Drew:
- blood pressure - amazing & the lowest he's seen in years!
- bloodwork - I think I heard her use the word "perfect"
- no tumor recurrence
- he's got an incisional ventral hernia that he will see a surgeon about tomorrow (that's a hernia in his abdomen caused from surgical recovery)
Josh:
- blood pressure - incredible!
- bloodwork - pretty darn good. His bilirubin is low, but they'll be keeping an eye on that.
- no recurring tumors
- the tumor in his neck is still less than a cm & Dr. Ye will compare with the Vandy scans
We are so thrilled and will be counting our blessings until the next round of scans, roughly 6 months from now!!
Thank you for your continued prayers for my boys.
Steph
