Evening post – Feb. 25
Today has not been a good day all around. The chemo is doing its thing – making Ryan sick. I don’t like it, but it’s all part of it and something we are going to have to get over to get him better. But it stinks! I don’t like my baby to be sick. On a good note, this is the last treatment of this round. As of 12:40PM tomorrow, Ryan will have received 72 hours of chemo straight. That’s right, 72 hours! No wonder he is sick.
I’m hanging in there – I don’t like see any of my children sick, and that makes today even harder on me. Ryan did have a couple of visitors today, but he really didn’t feel like talking to them. They were just happy to see him though and that is a good thing.
I know that we have been talking about people coming to visit and all, but now that he is almost done with this round of chemo, I must ask that visitors consider the fact that Ryan’s immune system is being torn down again. I’m not sure how long it will take to build it back up, but remember that he will be able to catch more colds and germs and such easier with his immune system down.
God bless each and everyone that reads this blog, and everyone have a blessed night!

We’re praying for you all and hope Ryan is feeling better soon. 72 hours!!! Wow–that IS A LOT!! We’re going to be coming back to Trinity soon so hopefully in a few weeks we’ll have an opportunity to see you in Sunday School (if the Lord allows).
Troy and Vic,
Life can be so cruel and unforgiving. Been there, done that. Keep the faith for all the things coming up. One day at a time is more than just a saying, it is true fact. We are here if you need us. If you need Tennessee to come to you, let us know. We love and care for you all and our hearts and prayers are always with you. Let us help you if we can.
Love
Dad and Pat and all of Tennessee, I’m sure
Love to y’all and prayers for the mother hen! It is so hard to see our babies aching and not be able to fix it. I will pray for the peace that passes all understanding to guard your heart…
Hi, my name is Heather, I go to castlewoods and have been following your posts. I am a stay at home with a 2 year old so we never attempted to stop in. It seems like you have reached the point where this routine is engulfing you and you are functioning in a hazy fog of adrenaline and emotion. When you get in that mode it is easy to accept the situation as your normal and forget that it will eventually change. I’m sure you sometimes don’t feel like writing updates and it feels like you are spending energy ensuring all of us that you guys are ok when you are the one needing the encouragement. Take courage in knowing that we understand, but the Lord made you and knows you intimately. He will never leave you alone. Take each day with the strength He gives you to get through each trial and don’t put too much pressure on yourself during this time.
Love in Christ, Heather
