Not doing too well

Okay, so I lied in the last post. Here's a quick update. Yesterday joseph continued to grow weaker and since we were in the car most of the time we didn't really notice it that much. Early in the morning he woke up with a severe headache and vomited. Then all day today he was unable to stand or even sit up. He seems to not be able to move his right side of his body. He did great at St. Jude but that's probably due to just being weak; he wasn't able to give his usual effort in fighting the needle. He only had a PET scan today and they couldn't really tell us anything about what's going on. The MRI tomorrow will tell more, but we kind of know what's going on based on his symptoms. Hopefully after the MRI, we'll be able to start Avastin on Thursday and Friday and then come home.

He is very frustrated and down about not being able to move. Pretty much the only thing that is keeping him somewhat happy is that tomorrow is his birthday and we have told him about the many presents waiting for him. Other than the headaches, he isn't in any pain; but we can't give him any medicine to help him understand what's happening or make it easier. Obviously, we are also pretty depressed about his quick deterioration as well.

We'll try to update again tomorrow after the MRI. Please keep praying for him.
