After a really tough past few days, my friends Stacie & Jeff, received good news today about Gavin.
quote from their blog:
"God's Listening"
"We believe with all of our hearts that God is listening and responding to all of our prayer requests for Gavin. We received some good news from Gavin's oncologist and knew everyone would want to hear it. "....... "The fluid pulled from last week's round of chemo (after only one dose of chemo from the week before) revealed that there were NO CANCER CELLS in the fluid. We're not out of the woods, by any stretch of the imagination, but could tell that the doctor was highly surprised by the test result."
She is referring to the CSF, which originally had cancer cells detected. He still has the spots on his spine, but this is very good news that at least the fluid is clear after just one round of chemo.
Also, Stacie just posted a link for a fund where we can donate to his medical fund. I know a few of you asked me what we can do for them. Well, I think one of the biggest things we can do is raise money for them for all of these medical expenses.
I was planning on doing an Ironman in September, but now I would like to somehow honor little Gavin and maybe have a few fundraisers leading up to my event to raise a larger amount of money for them and then present it to them. So, I will keep you posted. For now, keep the prayers flowing for disappearance and healing from all of the cancer! And here is the link again for their blog if you want the info now, feel free to donate just directly to the fund: http://www.smithscooptexas.blogspot.com/
