Continued Prayer

Kyler begins radiation treatments this Wednesday. There will be 31 treatments happening everyday except weekends (and any holidays that fall during the week). On Tuesday we visit the pediatric oncologist again where they will access his port and administer his first chemo treatment. He will be receiving Vincristine that day. They tell me it's a quick IV push and it's done. We shouldn't be there more than 1.5 hours. There are few side effects with this drug and he shouldn't experience the nausea normally associated with chemo. He will be getting this drug once a week during the radiation. We will receive a road map for the treatments ahead on Tuesday when we meet with the doctor.
Please pray that the radiation treatments go well and that the typical side effects would not be present. Pray for the protection of the normal, healthy cells.

Blessings,

Darrell
