Halfway There!
We’ve made half of the chemo journey!
Kyler received a special bear from his class. The bear was to help Kyler remain strong when he was getting anxious about getting his port accessed. The shirt says, “I will help Kyler be brave today” and lists all his classmates names. Thanks for such a creative way to help Kyler. Many of you have been praying about his anxiety during those times. Thank you.
Chemo number 5 went well. Kyler passed out Valentine’s cards to kids on the floor along with a little toy (a car for boys or stickers for girls). The Valentine cards had jokes on them and he had to share each individual joke with his nurses. He was so excited about it that could not even wait for them to venture a guess at the punch line. He jumped right in with the delivery. He has not experienced any nausea that we can tell and it’s been five days since treatment. Perhaps this is due to the 50% reduction of the Cisplatin. That reduction will also hopefully minimize any additional hearing loss.
He appetite has been good. He absolutely loves watching cooking shows. Right now his favorites are Alton Brown and Rachel Ray. Sandie bought some DVD’s of their shows and both boys are asking if they can watch and try making stuff.
Kyler went over to a friends house and they made turkey cheese roll-ups and ice cream tacos from recipes in a cook book he got for Christmas.
Sandie’s dad, Walt, is doing well. He is in a rehab center in Redding recovering from his second stroke.
Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
Blessings,
Darrell
