Merry Christmas friends! 🎄 Since our last post, so many prayers have been answered!!! Thomas completed the 4th, and final, month of his chemotherapy regimen at the end of November. His nurses made his last discharge from the chemo/transplant hospital floor a very special experience, with a Duke-blue confetti parade. And then, after finishing his last outpatient chemo, he got to ring the clinic bell surrounded by many of his incredible, compassionate doctors and nurses, and his awesome Duke Hospital school teacher, Brianne Starin. Last week, he had a post-treatment MRI which showed no evidence of tumor🙏. To our surprise, the MRI also revealed a complication with his VP shunt; this was quickly repaired surgically last Thursday in the OR, along with the removal of his port. At this point, Thomas is free from appointments for 3 whole months!! For now, he will continue working hard with physical therapy, diet (his appetite is back—especially for Moe’s!), and catching up in school and with friends.
