One other tidbit on Wylie. The second doctor on the team went over the MRI with Wylie's Mom. The doctor just kept saying, "look at that, look at this." One big item, that explains part of Wylie's obvious physical improvements, one nerve (or nerve canal, I don't remember the physiology specifics) was compressed by the tumor to the size of a pencil and is now opened back up to the size of a quarter. Amazing. We are so grateful and hopeful that this extraordinary improvement continues. It's scary, statistics are against it, but he has had some improvement both in function and on the MRI. We went to a benefit for him on Saturday and he is walking so well (he was with a walker or worse for a little while) and he has a grip in his hand again...it's just a miracle. Pray for continued miracles.
