This is an update on Hawk's last MRI:
I'm taking some sentences out of the Findings: The greatest axial measurement is approximately 3.5 cm which is slightly increased from prior study at which time it was approximately 3.3cm. The greatest superioinferior dimension is 3.5 cm which is slightly increased from 3.4 cm on prior study. There is no other intracranial lesion. The ventricles are normal.
IMPRESSION: Minimal increase in size of the brain stem glioma in comparison to prior study dated 05/16/06. There is more apparent increase in size when compared to study of 03/13/06.
Then Dr. Kuttesch wrote on the bottom of in his own handwriting: The difference in size may be just different measurement. In other words, the difference is so small, that it may just be the way it was interpreted each time.
Hawk will go in for another MRI in August (this month) to see if there are any changes.
Thank all of you for your prayers. I have faith that God can heal Hawk and I pray every day that He will, but the tumor is still there and we have to follow Jesus's example and pray that His will be done. I try to stay positive, but I cry every night about this.
A BLOG ABOUT HAWK SMITH AND HIS FAMILY: Hawk was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, on 12/15/2005. He went Home to be with Jesus on 2/4/2007. This is about his 13 month illness and now it is a continuing story about the family that he left behind. We miss him and love him so much. A huge hole has been left in our family, but we must go on. Some days are good and some days are very sad. But he is with us every day in our hearts and memories

Hawk--November 28, 2006
I said a prayer for you taday And know God must have heard---I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame. I knew you wouldn't mind. I asked Him to send tresures Of a far more lasting kind. I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day. To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small. But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all. Love Nanna Gwen
