Another round

Yesterday mommy and daddy went to chemo with me. I just had to have Vencristine but it still sucks and I was a bit ornry about it. Uncle Rindy stopped by around 8:00pm and I was already asleep for the night. 5 more weeks until our next MRI. 2 more weeks of pills and 2 weeks of rest. I think we will all be very happy for the break but please keep those prayers coming for that miracle. Love to you all. Merry Christmas to you and your family's we wish you all happiness and health.

Tristan Chemo update

Hi everyone,

Mommy took Tristan to the hospital yesterday for chemo, we are in the 5th week so he only had to have the Vincristine (inhibits the microtubule structures within the cell). It took a little less time so that was good.

The little guy is hanging tough. Keep those prayers coming and please wish for a miracle for our Tristan - that's all this family wants for Christmas!

Happy Holidays everyone, thank you as always for your support.

Tristan's chemo went fine on Wednesday. He slept all the way through it his mommy said. The evening wasn't quite as easy but Kimi is able to keep a handle on it with the medications. Grandma Isham went up yesterday and spent the whole day with him. He followed grandma around the house all day while she cleaned up their house. They played and had fun and Tristan was in good spirits.

Wednesday, Grandma Kathryn and Mommy took Tristan for his first chemotherapy treatment. Tristan got thru it like a champ! In fact better than a champ, he is the king of champs.

Anyway...later that evening things didn't go so well, he got really sick to his tummy and well let's just say, jammies, blankies, sheets, floor and door were ewwwwwww ;-(. He did though, his mommy said, throw up and as soon as he was finished looked over smiled at her and said hi mom. Awww.......... after multiple medications mommy got things under control about 5:00am and he went to sleep at 7:00.

The hospital said that it is sort of a guessing game but as soon as they figure out the combination to keep his tummy calm - it will work every time. So let's pray this next time they find the magic combination.

Anyway, this is the first week of a very long 8 weeks. Each Wednesday be sure to send those prayers.

Thank you everyone for your constant support, our family appreciates it so very much.

Special thanks to Grandma Kathryn who has been here done that and has a big enough heart to do it all over again.

Tristan loves his Grandpa!

Tristan Update....not so good.

Not a lot of time nor have I been able to go to the appointments lately with my knee surgery.

Tristan had a port put in on Monday because he will be starting a low dose of chemotherapy next Wednesday. The tumor has grown 20% in the last three months. The doctors say that the side effects should be very minimal and that this is the best route.

Pray Pray Pray!!!!! Tristan, his mommy daddy and family need those prayers/

More soon....

Tristan Update

Hello everyone,

Tristan is making great strides. He has been home from the hospital for almost 2 weeks.

He did the 'Hulk' so freakin' cute. His eyes are opening a bit more. He has walked a bit and is saying a bunch of words like Bye, Hi, Tristan, Bonk, Zip Zip, Gus Gus... (he and aunt Nikki have been watching Cinderella). The oncologist says there may be further treatment necessary but at the moment we are waiting to hear that from Dr. Riva-Cambrin. The thought of the little guy having to go through more at this point is almost unbearable.

Everyday he get's a little stronger and we ask that you continue your prayers in helping Tristan recover and flourish.

Thanks to everyone who loves....

I will keep updating the site weekly.

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update - Tristan's surgery went great, they believe they have removed 90-99% of the tumor and it was benign. More details coming thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, keep up the great work ;-)
