Phintastic News!

Quick medical update on Phin: He had his lumbar puncture (aka spinal tap) on Tuesday, Day 8 of chemotherapy. The results popped up in our MyChart app that night but we had to sweat it out til morning, being unable to interpret them ourselves. (Note to self: become fluent in the language of lab result abbreviations and jargon.) The news is good. His results show that his spinal fluid is clear of cancerous cells. I repeat: NO cancer in Phin's spinal fluid.Whew, amIright???

It's a small buoy of relief in a sea of cancerous treachery, but it does have the effect of feeling like we've been thrown a life jacket. We swim slowly, steadily on.Thank you for your prayers and good vibes and all the other positivity you're putting out into the world for our boy. I leave you with a photo of Phin from last night...
