Finally some good news

Remington has finally started to improve! The swelling and sores in his mouth are starting to get better. They are considering taking out the breathing tube within the next 24 hours. After they take the tube out he will have to stay in ICU for 24 more hours so they can make sure he will be ok before they send him back up to the 4th floor. We also got the best news of all! Remington's tumor is already starting to shrink!!! The doctor was more surprised than we were when he looked at the CT scans of Remi's chest. They were not expecting to see any real response to the chemo therapy for at least two more cycles. ( 4 more weeks). Shilo and I have an appointment with Dr. Barnette this evening to have the CT scan explained in more detail and to discuss the next steps for Remi's treatment. Thank you to every one who has supported us during this time. Words are never enough to express just how thankful we are to you all. Bless you
