MRI tomorrow

Ok everyone.....PT's and prayers are needed. Ashton will be having his MRI tomorrow at 3pm. I have been feeling so great about it. He has been doing so good and hasn't given us any reason to worry, but about an hour ago, we heard some terrible news which has pretty much slapped me in the face and made me realize to NEVER let my guard down.

When Ashton was first diagnosed, when he was still in the ICU after surgery, we were introduced to a wonderful family who happened to be waiting for their baby boy to finish his follow up MRI. They were the first people we talked to who had a child with a brain tumor and I felt the need to latch onto them...they looked so calm because they had already been through the worst, Jacob was tumor free and doing great. He had a different type of tumor and was diagnosed about a year before Ashton. A couple of times our boys would have their MRI on the same day so we would have a chance to catch up. But for some reason, our schedules have been slightly off and we have missed each other. Well, Jacob's MRI was today and we just heard that his tumor is back. There were no signs....we don't know yet what their next step is but let me tell you, this family is the greatest. They helped us so much. Their names are John and Sandy Grillo and Jacob is their son. PLEASE pray and send positive thoughts.

You never know what tomorrow may bring......
