This was from her most recent post on her caringbridge site:
"Wednesday we were up at 5:45 AM and off to Charlotte. We arrived at the hospital a little after 7:00 AM for Mackenzie's MIBG scan. Mackenzie was put to sleep at 8:30AM and she got to recovery a little before 11:00AM. When we left recovery around noon we went to clinic for Mackenzie to receive one more drug for round five. We left the hospital on Wednesday at 2:30 PM. Mackenzie again did really well.Today we had the last drug for round five, and thankfully today was a short day. In at noon out, at 1:30PM. Before we left the doctor came in to give us the results of the testing that has been going on for the last two weeks. As you know Mackenzie's disease is at stage four meaning the tumors have spread throughout her body. The disease in her back, legs, arms, and pelvic region are disappearing. The tumor above the kidney is getting smaller, the one behind her eye is getting smaller. The tumors are responding to the chemo and the doctor is happy with what he is seeing at this point. Our doctor did say he would have liked to see the tumor above the kidney to be a little smaller at this point, but nonetheless it is shrinking. Same for the tumor behind her eye, but that could be caused by the disease effecting the bone and not necessarily be a tumor. Another CT scan might be done next week to get a better idea of the eye area."
Please continue to lift this incredible family up in prayer. Her daughter is only about a month older than Luke and it breaks my heart to think of what they are going through.
