Praying for Megan

It was so good to see Megan yesterday.  She seemed in bright spirits.  I may be visiting her again today if she lets me know it is okay.  I now know more about the situation she is in and I can share.
I am using the words of Megan's sister below, just so you know what is going on and how to pray for Megan and her family. 
Megan's sister writes:

MRI shows two new tumors in her spinal cord, one at the very, very end of the cord where the nerves split off and go their separate ways, and another just a little bit higher. Additionally, the ventricles of her brain are slightly enlarged, so they are concerned that her shunt may not be working properly.



Her team of doctors - neuro-oncologist, radiologist, internal medicine specialist, and I'm not sure who all else - will be meeting to determine a new plan of treatment. No decisions have been made, but when we met with the neuro-oncologist this afternoon, she said this will most likely include additional radiation to the lower portion of her spine, increasing the frequency of her current chemo back to every three weeks (it had been reduced to every six weeks back in Feb when she was doing so well). At this point they aren't sure if they would add any additional chemo as she is already on three and they have to be careful about the drugs not interacting and causing issues.



Right now she will remain in the hospital until she meets three goals:


1) is re-hydrated appropriately


2) they figure out what's causing her nausea/vomiting and get that sorted out


3) they feel comfortable with her mobility and that she will be able to get around without hurting herself.



The doctor said most of her symptoms could be explained by the deyhdration, so the hope is that once she is properly re-hydrated she will be feeling a lot better and will be able to get around better, again. She is already doing a LOT better today (after being on IV fluids for 24 hours) than she was yesterday.



I know there are lots of decisions to be made in the next few days. Please pray for wisdom and guidance for Megan's doctors as they try to come up with a new treatment plan, for our family as we process this discouraging news, and especially for Megan.
