Day 54 Update - 05JAN09

Joshua says today was a bad day:( He spent most of the day at the hospital getting radiation, a blood transfusion, a spinal tap, shots in both thighs, and chemo. His blood counts are starting to drop again so we are back on infection patrol full time. Josh is still in pretty good spirits even after such a rough day. He is so strong.

 School starts tomorrow and both Jarrod and Joshua are looking forward to it. We'll see how long that lasts;)

Hey buddy, I know it's hard sometimes and you can feel really crappy. I've been there and it's not the fun part - there's none of it that's fun - you just gotta remember that you are KICKIN' CANCER BUTT and the rest will make it worth it. You are so strong and doing a great job. You are my hero right now and if I had a pretty head, I'd shave mine to match yours. but trust me (and you mom) it's not pretty without hair.

So to school you go - with Mom as the teacher. Holy cow:) You and Jarrod cut her some slack and try and get gold stars for behaving while in school - plus do your work so you can stay intelligent silly boys.

Thinking about you all the time. Love, Miss Laura
