Progression??
Well, it's after 3 am. I can't sleep. Oliver's benefit is tomorrow and I've been working on getting things finalized on my end. I'm feeling sick to my stomach right now as Oliver hasn't had a good day today. He's been falling a lot and complaining that it's harder for him to walk. He's been choking on things including his own saliva. He choked on some water and coughed, nearly vomiting in the kitchen. It's been harder to understand him lately and I've had to ask him to repeat himself a lot. He's also been crying... a lot... for no reason. I've been working on a slideshow and we were watching it and he burst out in tears and said that he didn't know why he was crying. He told me that he thinks it's from the sickness. I think he fears the same thing that Ed and I do... progression... that the tumor is growing again. I don't want to believe it. Maybe if I just stick my head in the sand and pretend everything is all right... it will be. Unfortunately I know all too well that I can't run away from this. His next scheduled MRI is this Wednesday, June 15th. Please pray for strength, peace and comfort, especially for Oliver as I can sense his uneasiness right now. We'll keep you all updated...

Praying for Oliver and your family. We wish we could be at the benefit today. Hope it goes well.
Love,
The Stuart's
p.s. When he is having a hard time swallowing. Try something thick. Water is the hardest thing for him to swallow, pudding/yogurt may be the easiest. You may already know this but I had no clue until Rex struggled with it.
Hugs!
We have sure been thinking about you guys a lot lately. So sorry to hear of worrying symptoms. It is ok to be worried and emotional... You are human! It can be repeated over and over, and easier said than done, but just take it all one day at a time. Put all the trivial stuff aside and just love on that boy! Always here in anyway, and you are in our prayers. Give Ollie a big hug for us.
Love, the Huish family

Hi Oliver and his family!
you don't know me, but my friends little brother was just recently fighting the disease you have. Keep fighting, from your blog you sound like an amazing person. I will add you to my list of heros and my list of prayers(:
another friend of mine was able to overcome cancer with the odds against her 25 to 1 and survived through some very close calls. Miracles do happen, and even when things seem darkest, there is always hope.
my prayers and thoughts are with you all.
