Chase is on the Rebound
Since receiving the great news about the PET scan results, we’ve had a renewed positive outlook about Chase’s recovery. The Radiologist at the Burzynski Clinic reviewed the scan and concurred with the first read – no metabolic activity, which is a great sign. They want us to continue with their treatments for a while, since there could be microscopic cells that didn’t get picked up on the PET and we would want to knock those out to prevent a relapse. We’re still waiting on the second opinion from the Proton Beam Radiation center in Indiana – hopefully they will agree as well and provide some insight on strategies to help remove the necrosis tissue.
We’re also following up with our Nutritionist next week who has some specific ideas on ways to stimulate the body to absorb or process this tissue, including oxygen chamber therapy. We recently started giving Chase special foot baths that are intended to provide a detoxification benefit – what an eye-opener. You wouldn’t believe the kinds of gunk that this 20 minute footbath draws out of the body, which seems to confirm that detox is our real issue at the moment.
We’re extremely excited and anxious to see the results of these treatments to provide relief for the Chase’s symptoms. He’s still very nauseous (typical neurological symptoms with inflammation) - vomiting daily, and having headaches. We’re doing everything we can to reduce the swelling, but it may just have to take its course. We’re praying and visualizing the lesion breaking up into small pieces and being disbursed throughout his body to be flushed out. We can’t wait to see this happen!
I just received a link from a story that was on the Pittsburgh news a couple of days ago about Medjugorje http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/actionnewsextras/9187210/detail.html . This is a very accurate description and shows what the place is like, including Apparition Hill that we climbed. I also received a link to a really special song that my friend Tom Nawrocki recorded about the pilgrimage http://www.septacom.com/chase.mp3. Just waned to pass these moving pieces along…
We truly believe that Chase’s miracle is unfolding before our eyes and we’re excited to share it with all of his Prayer Warriors - thanks for helping us keep the faith!
Love,
