Another chemo Thursday....

I've lost count on the number of chemotherapy treatments Dalen has received. However, I'm still thankful for his well being this far. God is so amazing in our lives and words can not explain how much we appreciate His grace and mercy that we are favored with. This journey is not over yet! Continue to pray for my Dalen...he needs them! 

Last week we received results from his quarterly MRI and the tumors have shrunk again. This time not much in size but we are still grateful. 

We love you and continue to pray for my baby. 

the Count down begins......

It has been officially a year and half since Dalen was diagnose with Optic Pathway Glioma and one year since his first chemotherapy treatment. With so many doctors’ appointments throughout this year, I can truly say Dalen is still blessed by God's unchanging hand. Some days seemed so unbearable and he could never get through but God as always had a different plan for my Dalen. He has met so many awesome children through this journey that has changed his life forever. He also has gained a love for music. I recently found out that Dalen has another talent and he loves it. He plays music by hearing and he can also read music. This year has definitely had more good times than bad because Dalen is so awesome.

So far the clusters of brain tumors are still shrinking. Dalen has an MRI next week and we are expecting good news. His eye sight is stable from what the doctors results show, however Dalen and I can tell it’s more than stable. He is able to see at least fifteen feet away, now. And the color blue is looking more like blue instead of purple. Throughout the day Dalen is always pointing out something he can see now that he couldn’t before.  Also, he has gained some of his peripheral view back. He had no peripheral view; he could only see straight head unless he would have turned his head. He still has a long way to go from his goal of 20/20. Yes this is Dalen’s goal! He tells me every day, “Mom I going to have 20/20 vision, watch and see”. Dalen’s faith is beyond any person I have ever met. He teaches me faith and encourages me often. Dalen and I both agree that his eye sight is getting better and we are so excited.  

Please continue to pray for my Dalen. He has two and half more months to go with treatments.

Happy New Year!
