Brody Getting Ready to Drive a Go-kart in Columbus

Brody had to go to Columbus for his 2 week scans to assess how things are looking so far following his first HSV injection.  

After a day of labs,  MRI,  and PET CT,  Brody and I headed to Magic Mountain in Columbus for some fun.   He was super excited to just meet the height requirements to drive the go-cart himself rather than being Mom's passenger.  

After our go-cart rides we headed to the movie theaters to see Malificient.   He loved the movie and is ready to take Geordi and Jaden to go see it when we get a chance. 

On June 7th, we all had a blast at a Campout to Stomp-Out Cancer event we held at our house.  We invited a bunch of friends to Camp-Out in our backyard and charged a camp fee which we donated to Curesearch for Children's Cancer research. 

Troop 97 Boy Scouts assisted us with the event.   They were a great help.   They helped watch over the kiddos attending,  cook the food,  run some games,  pre-filled water balloons,  set-up tents and tables and chairs,  and then helped us clean everything up the next morning.  We had loads of water inspired fun.  

My friends Carolynn,  Tom and Mirissa brought their DJ equipment and played us some fun,  upbeat music for the event too.  

We also watched an outdoor movie in our yard.   Brody picked Dispicable Me 2.  It's one of his faves.  

Our Camp-Out to Stomp-Out Cancer event was so much fun.   All the kids really had a great time and we managed to raise $960.00 for childhood cancer research that day.   Total win-win!!

Brody's 2 week scans showed the tumor to be pretty much the same.   It hasn't really gotten any bigger or smaller.   The PET showed less active tumor in the area of the HSV injection.     It cannot be said that this is from the HSV injection though,  this area could just not be active at the time of the scan.   It could still sometimes be active.  I was relieved the tumor didn't get bigger and thankful that Brody has been feeling so great and enjoying just being a kid.

His labs were concerning.   His creatinine levels went up a little more.
