Cristian stood with Jenelle this weekend because his sister was going to be with them. Cristian was in good spirits.

Today Cristian went to Dr.Bob, Dr Bob is the Chiropractor that treats Dylan. Cristian took x-rays. Dr Bob showed me how he can release pressure around the stem of Cristian’s Brain. Cristian will see Dr Bob every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Cristian was in good spirits today. He usually hates taking his Protocel, but today he did. Cristian and I had prayed before we left the house in the afternoon. I am happy to report that his spirits are great.
Cristian stayed with me tonight. We have been giving him Protocel. Protocel is one of the primary things Dylan’s father attributes to Dylan’s success, along with Reiki, Ray and a good chiropractor. Cristian’s spirits were “great”.
We met with Dr.Khakoo and she went over the same options as given to Jenelle on Monday by Dr. Dunkle. We decided to hold off on giving Cristian anything until Tuesday October 7th, which is when we find out if Panitumumab will become available, if Panitumumab doesn’t become available on Tuesday October 7th we will go with Etoposide or Valproic Acid and Derivatives.
Jenelle took Cristian to see Dr.Dunkle and discuss the options that are available. The options are Etoposide or Valproic Acid and Derivatives. Etoposide is a chemotherapy drug and Valproic Acid and Dervatives is a medicine that is used to prevent or treat seizures.
Cristian slept a lot. He has been sleeping more than usual. His friend KC came to visit him. They played with Cristian’s Thomas battery operated trains and watched tv. I took Cristian home in the evening. Cristian is still not himself.
Today has been one of the scariest days in my life thus far. I picked up Cristian this afternoon and once he was in the car he told me he had a bad headache and was dizzy. He said he informed Jenelle when he woke up.
Today Cristian had the MRI. The MRI isn’t showing Tumor growth so Dr Dunkle thinks there must be something happening internally. We are going to meet Monday and decide how we will proceed.
We met with Dr Khakoo today who went over our options, which aren’t much. Cristian has been progressively getting worse since his first surgery. I cannot understand this. The doctors said the second surgery was successful and the fluids are draining, so why is Cristian getting progressively worst instead of better.
