On Monday, November 15 Andrew had an MRI of his knee. This was his first 3 month check-up MRI since surgery and his final bone scan. He did an awesome job during the MRI. They didn't put him out and he laid super still for over an hour in the big tube. I called the doctor today to see if they had any results. The doctor called this afternoon and Andy talked with him. The results didn't come back completely normal, but the pediatric oncologist is pretty sure everything is ok. There is one abnormal spot near the sight of the skin graph. He is hoping that it is just some scar tissue or a deep part of the wound that is still healing. He is pretty for sure that it is not a tumor or more cancer, but he will go over the MRI with the radiologist next week and get his opinion. Even if they don't think it's anything to worry about they will do another MRI or scan in less than three months. Originally he would have not needed one for another 3 months, but they don't want to leave this for that long. We have mixed emotions.....glad we found out some news, it could have been a lot worse, but still a little unsettling, and we just continue to trust that God has our little guy in HIS arms.
Andrew was very cute when Andy told him about the results. He said, "oh yeah dad, it must just be that little part that is different than the rest of my scar, I know what he's talking about." The confidence of our little one amazes me. He didn't even think twice about it and assured daddy that it was all ok. LOVE that BOY!!!
