Good Day

We went to the Louisville this morning and found ourselves to be the only appointment that day for the doctor's because it was snowing so not many people came in. So we zipped right through and were home before noon. Ben is doing well and is an extremely happy little boy because I got the Dr. to rewrite all his prescriptions to pills instead of liquid. THANK THE LORD that he has learned how to swallow pills because his Zofran which is anti-nausua medication actually makes him throw up. To his credit I tried just a little bit on my finger and I threw up too. Also his Zantac is now in a pill too. These two prescriptions really were very difficult for him and us. We felt like Giant jerks making him swallow them. We would sometimes have to hold his nose and mouth closed so this is such a blessing and answer to prayers. The Dr. & the pharmacist said that it is really abnormal for a three year old to be able to swallow pills but we are counting ourselves blessed.
We are doing one more week of the ERRI-C treatment so four more days of Matt or my Mom giving him his Chemo. Next week he will have another appointment but we are not sure when.

Pray that God will give Ben yet another good week. Dr. Bertalone said that the second week of ERRI-C tends to be very difficult he said we needed to be ready for bad nausua and vomiting, high fevers, and tremendous mood swings. We are praying that we are in the lucky few who do not experience this but we will have to wait and see.

Continue to pray for us, for peace, strength, understanding, and faith.

Love Jamie
