Tommy's first five day chemo treatment went fairly well. The chemo meds are different and not so harsh -- they say we should prepared to see him sick again when we go back for the two day treatment. We aren't sure we want to start the 2 day treatment in another week. It's a little hard on all of us coming and going all the time and need to have our family time too. We'll make up our minds by or before Friday regarding that.
Since coming home at 9 PM on Friday night, Tommy has only gotten sick once and has eaten so-so for us. Tonight he was telling me he didn't feel good and his tummy hurt.
It's about the 8th day after the last chemo treatment that ones blood cells are at their lowest. One of the things we do to help Tommy recover them as quickly as possible, is by giving him shots every day. Yesterday wasn't so bad to do, but today Daryl had to help. Our finger are crossed and our breath is held for next weekend. That's when we could end back in the hospital from this treatment like we did the last one. So please keep those prayers going.
Tuesday we go to Childrens in Seattle for our first appointment with the surgeon. We hope and pray to have good news. Meanwhile, we'll enjoy what's left our holiday weekend and may all of you do the same. <><

Kim & Daryl,
We all know this has to be the hardest situation for both of you to be in, especially being the parents and the ones to make the decisions.
The Love you have for each other and your children, communication, understadning and complete devotion to one other, as well as having God in your lives is what will help you get you through this together.
You are both a very committed, and strong couple, and that is apparent in Tommy's fantastic sense of humor and terrific personality. God will continue to guide you and bless all of you.
All our love,
Mom & Dad
