An evening with Seth..and getting ready to turn 3!

Last night I had the privilege of spending time with Seth. I can't begin to explain the joy this little guy can bring someone. He is amazing (and the nurses agree). Apparently earlier in the day Seth got sick and lost his stomach a few times. During which time he lost his feeding tube. So, with no feeding tube we had to endeavor actual food. Let me just say.....he was AWESOME. He wanted Cheese Ravioli and ate really well! He drank some milk and later ate some of an Ice Cream Cone. Hopefully he can keep eating and stay off the feeding tube.

He is receiving two types of Chemo this round. One is Ara-C and he has had that all along. One thing different this time is he is getting it continuous through and IV for 7 days. (today is day 4). The other one is Idarubicion (sp?) and he got that one for 3 days. They are monitoring his heart and as of last night he looked good. He is such a fighter and has a very determined attitude.

So...we have 3 more days of Chemo. I don't know what the plan is after that just yet, but they will be checking bone marrow at some point in the coming weeks and then the Doctors will determine what's next. I also wanted to let everyone know Seth has a birthday coming up on the 25 of March and will be turning 3. I thought it would be fun to take up some fun card/pictures to hang in his room so if you (or your children) would help that would be great! It is great to be able to "change his scenery" every now and again!

We love and appreciate your prayers and faith.
