Pilocytic Astrocytoma WHO Grade 1

April 28, 2014

This is the name of the tumor Brad has....I just googled it and it is typically something children get. This is how the appointment went....... The doctor walked in the room with a smile and said, "You know don't you?" "You called and found out the results?" I told him I didn't and his smile got bigger :) He still didn't tell us he did a few coordination tests on Brad and sat down and said, "You have a Pilocytic Astrocytoma WHO Grade 1 tumor.....and if you have a brain tumor this is the type of tumor you want to have!"

No other light in the house was on and since we don't live in the city there are no street lights or city lights. Just deep darkness. I went to the bathroom next door to our room where my husband and baby peacefully. I decided after I went to the bathroom to check on my three sleeping beauty's down the hall in the same room. They also had their small TV on with no volume that lite their large room up a little, but not much. Enough for me to walk close up to each girl and kiss them on the check. I went to my youngest daughters bed and there she laid curled up in her Spider-Man blanket asleep.
