Day -8

Little Nathan is doing great so far.  He is a trooper.  He has had 6 doses of chemo.  The first medicine he is getting every 6 hours for 4 days.  He will get the 2nd medicine once a day for 4 days.  The nurses say the 2nd medicine effects kids more.  So far he is just tired.  He is getting a blood transfusion, his levels are low due to the chemo.  Hopefully that will help him have more energy.


He has started smiling which is really sweet, I love his dimples.  He loves to look around, and even started batting at toys.  His personal fave was watching Animal Planet.  I guess the pythons and iguanas were fascinating. He would get upset if we turned him where he couldn't see the TV.  He's a big boy, already growing out of his 3 months clothes.


Isaac continues to amaze me.  He is so smart, he said a 7 word sentence yesterday.  Overall, he's transitioning well, he does need a lot of reassurance.  We have to tell him everything that's going to happen, many times.  He asks to hold baby Nathan again often.  He is obsessed with seatbelts, he screams to make sure everyone has theirs on.   Like any 2 year old, is beginning to love the word NO.


God is good, and he continues to supply the peace and strength we need.  Thank you for your prayers, God continues to answer them.



The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

Psalm 34:17
