Quick Update

Our 16 year old will be starting chemo right after he gets back from scout camp. He's doing well and he's trying to gain some weight needed before starting it. Just wanted to give a quick update to anyone I may have missed in my last mass emailing.

I hope your summer is starting off to be a good one. I am already wishing winter were here. Why am I one of the only people (besides said 16 year old) that hates summer? :)

I have never really been a Switchfoot fan, but I love this song. It's from the movie Prince Caspian.

Happy Mother's Day.

Update on Andrew

About 2 weeks ago he ended up at the hospital with an IV for meds and fluids. The medicine was for nausea. THey sent us home with a prescription for more of that medicine and he's been doing great. He lost even more weight, which he didn't really have to lose. He's gained a couple of pounds since then and we had an appointment with a GI doctor this week who put him on a high calorie diet. The problem with that is that he gets full fast and then forgets to eat between meals.

He's still unable to speak above a whisper due to the paralyzed vocal cord, but as long as he takes the meds he can function fairly normally. The medicine is one they give chemotherapy patients for nausea.

Thanks for prayers.
