Udated Prayer Request for the weekend


Hey,

Dan is having a tough weekend. We have increased his steroids and he is resting comfortably. We are in contact with his NO (neuro-oncologist) and we are going to try to get a MRI approved for Monday. If there are any changes in his condition, then we will go to the ER and have a scan through the hospital. As for now his condition is not getting any worse so we will try to ride out the weekend (isn't it amazing how everything happens @ 5PM on a Friday night)!!!

Thank you for your continued prayers and support and I will update as things change. We are so fortunate to be in town with my parents and Dan's mom was already scheduled to visit on Monday, so we will have a lot of help. Terri and Rob (some of our friends from Celebration) are staying at the Disney Vero Beach Resort this weekend, so the kids are having a blast playing with their buddies--"Thank you," Z family!!!

Love,
Leah

***Update (midnight 4/27)...Dan is doing much better. I have uploaded a photo of him resting comfortably in Mom and Dad's hammock! Thank you for your prayers. I will update soon.

Leah,this is Stephanie, Alexis' mother in Tampa. Yes, everything ALWAYS happens after five on Friday - which is one reason we went from Moffitt to a private oncologist, without breaking off all ties to the department at Moffitt. Alexis is starting Avastin in about ten days.
We are all praying for Dan and you - you are in our thoughts constantly.
If you ever want to contact me directly, please call or email.
While only God can lead us out of this misery, maybe we can help each other with practical advice.
Best to all of you - you, Leah, sound like an amazing woman!
Stephanie
