Well, The MRI results are good, and there is NO recurrance of Cancer.... BUT... There is a spot in Max's Nasal Cavity above his Right Eye (The GOOD Eye). So they think it is a Mucus Blockage and it has got bigger since the last MRI in August 09. SO that is where we stand now. There was and still is a possibility that the Chemotherapy "could" contribute to secondary Cancer, Bone Cancer or some other sort. That was the only Possibility we had, but they seem to think that this is all it is! I was so HAPPY to hear that the MRI Results were clean, but that don't mean we are out of the woods yet, we still have to get past the 4 1/2 year mark. So we have been sent papers on the Survivorship Program at Vanderbilt.
Anyway, we got tickets to the Predators Game tomarrow night. My "person" got us tickets to the game, and she usually gets us GREAT Seats too. GOOOO Predators!! Well, I am tired and I'm goin to bed now... Good Night!!
P.S.
I am trying to take Max off the Bottle at night, which isn't working. But he is off his binkie now!!

Monday and A Doctor Visit.....
OK, so its Monday Morning at 6:19am! Max has a Appointment with his Oncologist Dr. Kuttesch at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital, at 1:00pm today. Just to get the results of last Thursday's MRI. Which we think that it will be a clean MRI and he will now be able to go every 6 months for MRI's now, but the older he gets that harder it will be. Man.... did we have a hard time getting him a IV in!! Whooaa....... They had to give him Versaid, which is a nasal mist to calm him down, that worked for a bit, but then he was bad. LOL If I could have did it for him I would have! Poor little guy!!
So they finally got the IV in him hand, but by the time we got to the MRI room he had pulled it loose from his hand and they couldn't give him meds through it. So there Max was laying on the MRI table and with out a IV in, so they ended up just IVing him in his foot and then taping it inplace while he was out!! So next time they told us to make sure he is goin to get a MRI to get him to come on Monday... they can Gas him. He has had Gas one time to be put to sleep, that was the time they could NOT find a vein... and they stuck him like 17 times! Thank Goodness for Pedia-Ports!!
Anyway, Max's Papa had a Doc Appointment this moring also, so today to Doc Day!! LOL
So, anyway... I shall post later today on Max's MRI results and Doc Appointments. We have decided on a name for the Puppy.... well on a few names for the puppy.... Belle, J.D., (John Deere) and Gnash (Predators Mascot). So I don't know just yet! I have to go now, that danged puppy is howling....

MRI's.....
Ok, so the Axniety has set in once again.... I hate these Freakin MRI's Max has to have every 3 months.... but IF (and WE think that...) this MRI is CLEAN, Max can have a MRI every 6 months.... How sweet is that!!!! Thats the thing I want to hear.... Max is CANCER FREE!!! I'll be happy when he goes for his 1 year MRI's.
So anyway-- we have to be at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital at 7:00am or at least by 7:00am. He goes for his MRI at 8:00am and it should take a hour to a hour and a half. So its not that bad. I hope he does well with his IV Insert. He's not the best "stick" and he pulls it out half the time. With his Pedia-port is was SOOOOO easy! But now it has been almost a year since he has had his Pedia-port removed.... and so now he just has to have a "stick" and he has my Veins... Not good at all. So anyway--- Max was goin to bed at 7:00 tonight, and he woke up at about 8:15... so it will be at least Midnight when we get to bed. So its goin to be a rough night!! Boo!!
I will NOT have a ANY Results of Max's MRI's until Monday, but when I know I will let yall know. Max has a Doctors Appointment with Dr. Kuttesch on Monday. And then we start a BUSY week. Everyday we are going to be going somewhere... Monday- Max's Doctor Appointment, Tuesday- Max's LAST Feeding Therapy, Wednesday..... My Annual OB/GYN Appointment, (NO I'm NOT Pregnant!!!) And Thursday- Max's Speech Therapy, and Friday- Max's Feeding Therapy..... WOW What a Week!!!
Updates to follow... and we STILL have not named our Puppy!! Any Suggestions??

A NEW PUPPY!!
Today started out by going to Feeding Therapy in Nashville, (we have one more Therapy Session to go to... Yayy!!) I had called on a Beagle Puppy Yesterday, and they were in Springfield. So I told the lady I would stop by and see them, because we wanted a Puppy of some sort, and we have read that Beagles are good with Children.
So we got done at BWC and on our way back to Springfield. We stopped at Walmart to get Contact Solution for me and I just had to have a Dt. Coke!!! I was thirsty! So then we stopped by where Max's Nana used to work to visit them until after 4:00pm, we visited with Nana and MaryNell and Leonard. Then we went off to see The Beagle Puppies.
Ohh they were sooo cute!! I wanted all of them. But they were selling them for $65.00.... Well, we looked at them and Max played with them. And finally the Man said, "I have the "runt'' back here if you want to look at it". So I said "Sure!" He brought it out and she was soo cute, and Max loved it right away.... so I proceeded to them the Man and his Wife about Max and his Cancer..... log story short.... He just gave us the "runt" free!!! FREE!!!! So, Me and Max are the Proud owners of a Female Beagle Puppy... She is sooo adorable!! We just love her! But she does NOT have a name yet! We don't know what to call her, I thought of "Southern Belle" and calling her "Belle" So I don't know yet. So that was our day! How was your day??

Thank Goodness the week is over.....
Okie Dokie---
So its Friday Night and I just put little/big Max to bed. And now Jody is down the hall playing XBox- NHL Hockey! So all is good! So we have a Speech Evaluation today for Max, since he was diagnosed with Cancer LAST Year.... He had some issues on Speech and Eating. So we have had him in both of them since June 09. He has been doing great in both, so we decided to do anthor Speech Therapy. So he goes on Fridays, he has been saying a few random words but, not rattling off sentences like he should be. He don't put too words together, he only does "ish-bowl" for Fish Bowl. He calls a Transfer Truck a "Bye-Bye" and "Uff-Uff" for a dog, but he can say "dog'' when he wants to. I don't know what it is. hahaha
So as for PICTURES on here.... I asked for help from my Facebook Friends, but NOBODY wanted to help me except my cousin Kim. So I still don't know what I am doin and how to upload Pictures!!!! So hopefully, I will follow her instructions and "maybe" upload some Pictures on here. There's so many and my poor Lap-top is so old and SLOW that I don't know if I can upload them. hahaha So we will see keep checking back now and then.... I wonder if anyone really does ready my Blog???? I bet not, no one never leaves a Comment or anything! Oh well!!
See Yall next time....

Well, its November!! What a Month to be "THANKFUL" for Everything in my life!! I am so LUCKY to have Max in my life and I'm LUCKY to be his Mama. He is such a joy to have!! He is growing so fast, and is so cute. And so lovable! I totally love it! We have a few more weeks for Feeding Therapy before going to Once a month. And Max still has Miss Carter come Once a week to help with Speech. Then we go to another Speech Therapy in Portland on Fridays.
I called today to see if Max's Dr. Wilkins had sent us a referal to a Allergy Specialist yet, and the appointment has been set up for January 14, 2010. And also i called on a Dentist Appointment for Max.... Dec 4, 2009. That should be fun!! I'm not looking forward to that, but it will be good to get him started on that habit of brushing his teeth, he does it already but, I just want to make sure that he is doing it better.
Not too much has been going on, its nice weather out there. Fall Weather.... its great!! We are suppost to have "nice" weather this week. So far to good!! :) So I guess, I will update in a few days when something new happends.
Max and Mama XOXOXO
