Monday, July 2nd 12:22am

We just had to give Alex 8mg of steroids (the highest dose yet). His symptoms are not due to the ventricle swelling so a shunt will not help. They are due to the swelling of the tumors. We hope he will be able to rest tonight. We see Dr. Foreman at 10am.

Pray. Pray loud, pray long, pray often, pray hard, pray soft, just pray for Alex, my sweet, beautiful, wonderful, dear little boy and keeper of my heart.

This is too hard.

Gwen,

We are thining of you and sending our love and strength this morning. Give us a call after the doctor's. If Alex is feeling up to it we would love to come over, have you over, or meet up somewhere cool (like the museum) if you plan on doing that and want company.

Love,
Crissy and gang

Oh Gwen,
My thoughts are on Alex's comfort and well-being. It is hard for me to not be able to do something more than just pray against these horrible tumors. But pray I do, and I wish nothing but health and happiness for dear Alex and your dear family.

Gwen-
Long, loud prayers coming your way. We're all so powerlessron this, other than prayers and strong hugs coming form all of us to all of you.
Call if I can help with anything - I'm around throughout the holiday.
