Since the last update, Noah has been getting better and better each and every day. In my last update, we were faced with electrolyte issues but Noah has overcome all of the those issues and is doing great. His electrolyte levels are within normal range and he will be back to the normal dose of his treatment within the next week or two. Noah had his monthly physical today and he passed all of the neurological tests with no problem. Noah is still physically and mentally strong - walking, talking, learning, laughing, playing - you name it. He has actually had a lot of weight gain as a result of the steroids but other than that – he looks perfectly fine and acts perfectly normal. Noah is supposed to start Kindergarten this September but since he’s on treatment, we decided to home school him. Thanks to his Aunty Jill, he has all his school supplies and has now started learning math, reading, spelling and writing. I know it seems like more than what a normal Kindergartner would learn but Noah's there and you teach him one time - and he's got it down. He even gets annoyed if you try to teach him again to make sure he understands... he says, "I know how to do this, Mom!" :-) Noah also attends Children’s Worship Service (CWS) every Sunday and is very attentive during the service. He also leads the children’s committee prayers sometimes and has been awarded CWS Model Child. His next MRI is scheduled for 3rd week of July. Thanks to all for your continued support and thanks to our Almighty God for protecting Noah and answering all of our prayers.
