Here's the latest. The first CT scan was completed this morning. It looks as though Reese has a tumor inside her abdomen that will need to be removed. She has a fever right now, so the surgery will probably not take place until tomorrow. They need to wait for the fever to go down before they can do the surgery. The best guess is that what Reese has is something called a Wilms tumor. The good news is that this is something that is very treatable. The tumor just needs to be removed. According to the Mayo Clinic web site, "The outlook for most children with Wilms' tumor is very good."
Thank you for your prayers for the Nicholsons. We are planning to go see them this afternoon, so I will let you know what we can do to help them.
We're here for you, Amy and Brian.
