Restocking the pill organizer~a weekly chore.

It has been awhile since we updated the blog.  When there is silence ~we are hopeful that it means good news.

One year ago, this warrior was in frontline, intense treatment.  He was receiving units of blood and platelets throughout September, 2011.  Looking back through the journal we kept~we are all so awed at Gods grace and deliverance for what could have been.

In 1964 a child’s chance of surviving ALL, the most common form of childhood leukemia, was 3%. Today about 90% of children survive.

This week Jethenro had his blood test, and he is responding as expected to the oral chemo he is taking, so it feels like there really is nothing to report.  He remains healthy, and although neutropenic, he seems to ward off any colds or flu that may be roaming around.  We are continually grateful that he is doing so well. So far he does not seem to carry long term side effects from the chemo, and for that we thank you...I know there are specific prayers interceding on his behalf, and we believe God's protecting hand is placed over Jethenro because of your prayers.

He has mentioned that maybe he should get a haircut.  Yet he continues to get oohs and ahhs over his bushy curly hair...I have never cut curly hair, so i  asked him if he would like to go get it done at the hair stylist.  He wasn't sure, so it has remained on his head for now. His dad can do a good cutting job also~if he thinks of it...

Had to capture this take on drinking juice from two containers~what to do when there is no other choice for juice in the house.
