Quick Update on plans

People have been wondering (as have we!) when we're going out to Boston, so I just wanted to post a quick update....


For those of you who didn't hear, our insurance approved a second opinion and related diagnostic testing out in Boston.  There are A LOT of steps that need to be taken and red tape cleared before you can schedule an appointment.  We have made it a long way these past few weeks, and now our file is sitting on the doctor's desk.  When he has time, he will review Alexander's file, all of the imaging that has been done and review his biopsy slides himself.  They are still waiting on the slides and some of the imaging. After everything has been reviewed, he will be scheduled.  It will probably be a few more weeks before we are put on the schedule.  The doctor is currently being scheduled 2-3.5 months out, so we will likely not make it out there until the end of the summer.  We can hope for sooner, though!
