Large Smiles

This past week I had a headache, and anymore a headache is a scary thing for me to have. But today I received great news that my headache did not come from cancer in my brain! Rather, my MRI and CT scan showed that there was nothing to be concerned about. When my parents and I heard this our faces were full of smiles! This means that I have gone six months without having any cancer return to my body. My body is healthy! I must give thanks to God for the past six months of great health.

This coming Wednesday (8/9/06) I will be going back to the hospital for my neuropsyche tests. From this test, the doctors will be able to tell the college what help I need with my reading disability. When I first had my head surgery, I could barely remember how to read, and people’s names were far from my brain. While my reading has improved and I can remember more names, they both still aren’t as good as they were.

I will also be getting my port taken out of my chest this coming Monday (8/14/06). While I have gotten used to having my port, it will be nice not to have it in me anymore.

Right now I am at peace,
Nathan

You are truly a precious lamb of God and have gone through much testing in your young life, all to the glory of our God and King! I'm praying for you as you go through the medical procedures today. May you continue to experience improved health and regain your full capabilities in all areas!
