Incredible News!!

Nathan underwent another MRI this morning to follow-up on his cyst and fourth ventricle. We had an appointment with his neurosurgeon following his scan to discuss the results...and much to our surprise, the cyst has gotten SMALLER!! We couldn't believe it and are just THRILLED with this news!! We still need to keep a close eye on Nathan, but not undergo as frequent of scans. The doctor wants to minimize Nathan's exposure to radiation and continue to let Nathan grow and excel. Steve and I immediately were drilling the doctor with questions, not knowing how to handle the great news. We hope and pray Nathan's progress continues down this path and we won't have to intervene any time soon!! All of our prayers seem to be working, please keep them going!!
