Noah had an MRI on May 26, 2011 and the results showed a 10% increase in tumor growth. The MRI results also showed minor subdural bleeding that is not located on his brain tissue or near the tumor which will hopefully heal itself. He has also had some problems with high sodium levels as a result of not drinking as much water as he used to. He started to get tired of drinking water so we are consistently giving him more water, diluting his drinks with water and changed his diet to resolve this problem. We think the high sodium level caused the subdural bleeding. He's also had unexplainable high uric acid levels that are causing him to become very sleepy and is currently taking medication to help reduce these levels. On the outside - thank God, Noah shows no symptoms. He is still our intelligent, articulate and playful Noah. We continue to pray our son will be healed from this illness. We know and have been told by his doctors - sometimes it gets worse before it gets better so hopefully this is the worse. :-)
