Although I would prefer that God just spoke audibly to us about how to treat Jude, in His providence, it appears that everything is coming together to give us all the information we need to make the best decision possible for Jude. Â First, there was the timing of the HopeKids brain tumor family picnic where I met the mom who encouraged me to get into Mayo. Â Then, there was the cool fact that Mayo got us in to see the pediatric neurooncologist we wanted to see this Friday, even when she had nothing available until the following Monday (while we are supposed to be driving to Indiana for the radiation mask fitting and simulation) when I first spoke with them. Â Then, when I couldn’t get past the Mayo schedulers to get an appointment with the pediatric radiation doctor I wanted to see, I was able to talk to one of the HopeKids moms and email the radiation doctor directly and get her to agree to an appointment on Friday right before the other appointment I already had set up. Â On top of all that, this week is an international pediatric brain tumor conference that occurs once every 2 years. Â Our Children’s oncologist told me that today is ependymoma day and that she’ll be on the lookout for cases like Jude’s and what other doctors are doing internationally with respect to treatment of Jude’s rare case. Â I’m so thankful that things are falling into place and I’m just hoping for clarify when we have all the information at the end of Friday since we’ll have to start packing for a 7 week trip if we are going to Indiana Monday morning.
