Sunday's update

       Mitchell has now gone more than 24hrs with out a fever. He is feeling much better. He still has some tender spots in his tummy, but that isn't slowing him down any. He had great time with Zendra while mom and dad took a break and went to lunch together. He had a surprise visit from his Aunt Simone and Uncle Andy, who drove down from Everett Washington. Overall yesterday was a good day.
        The oncologist has now removed one of the three antibiotics from his medication list. The surgeons stopped by and said he can start with liquids now. Mitchell still isn't hungry at all, but we need to see if his body is able to start processing food.
         As for the biopsy and the mass, a different head surgeon has examined Mitchell and the CT scans, at this point he is not convinced that it is worth the risk of going into his lower abdomen to biopsying the mass. The risk includes damage to the large and small intestines, or the colon, or worse internal bleeding. At this point the biopsy has been put on hold. They wont make the decision to operate until mid week. The surgeons are pleased with how he looks and feels this morning. The infection seems to be going away and the inflammation of his entire G I track is going down as well.
            Now we will wait and see what is next for his journey.
