We had our RO appointment today with Dr. Merchant. Baby Nicholas was sedated for his CAT scan and MRI that will map out his brain for radiation. They will take the first MRI from Beaumont Hospital when he was diagnosed with the tumor and they will lay that MRI over the new one without tumor for placement. On Wednesday he will have fiducials placed in his skull. Fiducials are really small titanium screws that they place under the skin so that each day during radiation treatment they will do multiple xrays for may certain he is in the exact same spot so that no other brain tissue will be exposed to the radiation. They also use a mask that he will be fitted for today during simulation that locks him in while he is sedated so that he does not move during treatment.

Attached below is a gift from Auntie Kimmy and Uncle Mike and the boys for Baby Nicholas' 1 year birthday. THANK YOU!! xoxo

Dear Lord,

We pray today that you guide the radiologist so that only the area needed to cure Baby Nicholas will be affected. That everything is in YOUR HANDS and that you gift Doctors with talents to be your physical hands .... Please keep our boy safe, never allowing this cancer or any cancer of any kind ever to harm him again. Everything is in YOUR PERFECTS HANDS!!
