Hi everyone -

Thanks so much for praying for Lewis - we are so happy that his 10 month scans were clear - YAY! Thank you, Jesus. We will go in for his next scans in another 3 months, and if those are clear we will start talking about increasing the time between his scans - so great to just think about that.

Lewis had a little cough + congestion when we went in for his scans, but we were able to get them done & there were no problems. We had a great team on Wednesday for his MRI, it was a huge answer to prayer. His hem/onc team also helped us in prepping for that a lot, everyone is so great.

This June, we are excited to be celebrating the one year anniversary of Lewis’ big surgery by going back down to California for a fun visit. We’ll be doing a road trip down with a couple of fun stops along the way, and Lewis will be honored at the North California Brain Tumor Walk, which just happens to be the same week as his one year anniversary! Dr. Prolo, Lewis’ pediatric neurosurgeon, nominated Lewis and he will have a poster with his picture on the walkway leading to the event, which will be at the San Francisco Zoo. We can’t get over the perfect timing of everything! Lewis is excited for all of his grandparents to come with him to the walk & to introduce them to Ronald at the Ronald McDonald House haha.

We’d love to invite you all to join us on the walk as we honor Lewis & his bravery! Even if you’re not in the area, you can participate virtually by signing up at the link to be on Team Stanford & show your support. You can also get a t-shirt if you raise $70 by May 8.

Here are the details:

Lewis is also going to be interviewed by some local news stations in these next few weeks about his big surgery - our little celebrity! We will keep you posted on when those segments air.

Oh, also - praise! Last week before the MRI, our insurance approved Lewis’ weekly growth hormone shot - yay! Such wonderful news.

One last thing we would like to ask for prayer for, Emmett had a reaction to eggs in early March that we took him to the ER for. He just got confirmed for an egg allergy this past week. If you could please pray that he doesn’t have any more allergies, we would be so grateful! We will be introducing foods at home & seeing how he reacts, so that will be a little stressful. We have some family history with allergies, so it would not be surprising if he is allergic to a few more things, but we are praying that he is not. Thank you!

Grateful for you all and so thankful for your support & prayers in the midst of your busy & full lives. The Lord blessed us with a lot of peace this past week & we hope he surrounds you with his same peace this week. Love to you all!
