I’m so glad all our prayers are working. For Evan having neuroblastoma, we can’t ask for a better possible outcome than it to be classified today as staged 1 and low risk, basically he is now in remission. For now, no additional treatment will be necessary, just some follow ups. In about three or four weeks we will be back to do a CT scan and take some blood work to establish a baseline. Thereafter Evan will have CT scans and blood tests every 3 months for the first year and then they will space them out further. They will further compare his blood to the neuron specific enolase (NSE) which appeared elevated before the surgery. Well, I’m so glad we can take a break for now after going to 22 Dr appts in the last month. We can’t believe it’s only been two weeks since first learned that Evan had a tumor, it feels more like two months or two years. Granted the best thing would have been for none of this to have ever happened, but since it did happen, we couldn’t have been more blessed with this outcome and we feel so fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family like all of you to have helped us through this. Thank you all.

Love,
Deb, Mike, Emma & Evan
