Finally, some good news! Bryce was released from the hospital today! His supplemental oxygen needs have dwindled to 3 liters, which is excellent, compared with the 15 liters he needed 2 days ago! He had a chest x-ray and an echocardiogram today; both of which revealed his tumors are shrinking! They are still huge, especially the tumor on his heart(9 cm), but they are noticeably smaller.
Now we hurry up and wait. He will start round 2 of chemo in 2 weeks. Hopefully this stuff shrinks enough to go with the more aggressive treatment.
Bryce is tired, worn out and sick, but he's alive and in good spirits. We have a very loud oxygen compressor in our bedroom, which should supply some great white noise for all his napping.
We were so excited to come home to baby Dani! She grew a bit while we were gone. She has a new tooth and can talk ("baa b- ba baaa")!
It is wonderful to be home, to be alive, to hold our baby, and to begin the long battle for Bryce's life.
Thank you to everyone who has sent up a prayer for us. We are making a miracle, and need an army of support.

I pray for you both every day. I will fast for a miracle today. Keep up the valiant work of believing in miracles. I know this experience will be your greatest teacher. I love you.

Glad to hear the good news. I have been following the progress through the emails you have sent, but have been reluctant to call because I can only imagine how busy and exhausted you've been. I know what I went through with Raphelle is nothing close to what you're going through with Bryce, but I feel like it gave me a taste so I can empathize a little. Know that we are here for you if there is anything that can be done on our end. Also know that since we heard the news we have been praying daily for you, Bryce and Dani that a miracle may be granted that Dani can grow up with you and Bryce by her side. I'm so sorry you have to be going through this, but hopefully the support of friends and loved ones can ease this burden.
