Colin's Post-Op MRI

Colin had a post-op MRI at St. Jude's, everything looks good!
We were concerned the most about finding a new small hemorrhage again but none was found. The area he had surgery in looks ok too, he has healed fine and the blood vessels in the area appear normal. The tumor in the pons looks unchanged. His port had to be accessed to administer the contrast but he didn't require the sedation. He laid completely still for one hour for the entire MRI! Our next one will be in April.

Colin is pictured above on the St. Jude campus. The new pediatric brain tumor research center under construction is seen at the left of the main hospital in the background. Here is a link about the new research building, if you are interested:
Thank you for praying for Colin!! Have a great weekend everyone!

Love,
Amy
