Prayer request from a friend of my sister-----
Mia had her MRI yesterday. We got a call from her Neurologist and he wanted to see us first thing this morn.Mia has two brain tumors, one on each optic nerve, the tumor is large enough that it is going into the chiasm, which is the area that the optic nerves go through that lead to the back of the brain. These tumors occur in less than 5% of NF kids, but usually are only present on one optic nerve. Since Mia has two and they have become so large that they are in the Chiasm, Mia will be going through Chemotherapy. Mia does NOT have cancer, Thanks to GOD for that! Mia will have surgery on Monday to implant a port in her chest or her side, depends on the particular surgeon as to where they want to place it. Mia will then, starting on Monday, undergo weekly chemo for 66 weeks. The type of chemo should NOT make her sick and she shouldnt loose her hair, but we just have to wait and see how and if it takes a toll on her. We are all doing ok. We are still in shock that our baby has two brain tumors, but are very thankful that they are not cancer and that the chemo has an 85% success rate! Please keep Mia, us and the Dr's in your prayers.
With God All things are possible!
