It's been awhile...

Sorry about that. But as the saying goes, no news is good news. Not to much has been going on here. Donavynn has had treatment every Monday since we got the news. He has been on steroids and has 2 more weeks of them to endure. He is swelling up and cranky a lot of the time, but other than that he is doing good. His counts were good last week, we'll see how they are tomorrow. They should be dropping soon if they haven't already.

His teachers came to see him on Thursday and that made his day. They brought him some presents and the stuff that he did in school and stayed and played with him for a little while. They are working on a book in school that they are going to bring to him so I'm looking forward to seeing that.



This is Miss Carol and Miss Lucy is holding Donavynn.

Donavynn had his first PAT (Parents As Teachers) meeting a couple weeks ago. Cara came and played games with him. They give us little game ideas to play with him and things you can make from everyday stuff you have around the house.

He loved every minute of his fun time with Miss Cara. He has been pretty tired from the steroids, even asking to go bed, and to take naps. Which as you know isn't normal for a 4 year old. He spends a lot of time resting on the couch with his Magnadoodle, or sitting and playing with Spike his dinosaur.
Or playing outside, he recently learned how to peddle his bikes so he rides his big wheel all up and down the sidewalk. And when we have time we are sure to take him to the park to enjoy riding his Power Wheels. We are trying to let him enjoy as much as possible while he still has some energy, because he is likely to feel pretty whipped soon. And he has planned hospital stays for treatment starting next month. That is when things will get really tough. But he is strong and he always tells me how brave he is. I just ache, knowing what my baby has to endure yet again. It makes me so angry sometimes.

So that is about all for now. He has treatment again tomorrow and I'll try to update afterwards if I have time. With treatment and school I am pretty busy, but remember no news is good news!

Thanks for the prayers, keep sending them up. For protection of his body throughout treatment, for him to stay healthy throughout treatment so that chemo won't have to be delayed and for no more cancer, EVER!!!
