No Place Like Home

Our little Man is HOME!!

There's no place like home! There's no place like home!
We arrived home late Thurs. night and after a long 2nd round of chemo and Micah was excited once again to be home! He still has his hair but this round of chemo took it's toll on all of us. Last Thurs he got a fever and hit bottom- his counts were at 0, the vomiting (because of one reason or another) in full swing, the mouth sores started, his eating stopped and we ...well... are hearts were breaking for our son. However the Lord sent comfort in many different forms- visitors, phone calls, prayers with friends and a nurse even stopped in the hall to pray with Micah and I. Praise the Lord that has passed, the mouth sores were not near as bad as last time and nurses were able to give him lots of good meds for his discomfort. As I talked with other moms I realized how blessed we are and how Micah is not experiencing what many other children with the same regimen are.

Here at home we are enjoying Micah's smiles, Breaton, our own bed and this warm weather. Thank the Lord for these beautiful days! We have been able to go for walks and play on the deck which is really nice since Micah can't go to the stores, church or playgrounds. Micah also got a big boy bed (mainly so Momma and Dadda could cuddle with him) and seems to be enjoying it. We were able to celebrate Braet's B-day (a bit early) with our families and that was a wonderful, refreshing time to be together! Luke is becoming a professional nurse and I the pharmacist!

Thank you all again for the meals (how nice it is to come home late from the hospital and have a great dinner!), visits, calls, watching Braet, continued prayers for our family and much, much more! You all have served and cared for us in so many different and wonderful ways! Thanks so much!
Love to All, Luke & Kriscinda, Braet, Micah and lil sis (still with no name!)

Weeping may tarry for the night,but joy comes with the morning. Ps 30:5


* 3rd Round of Chemo, scheduled to start on March 16, this is the last dose of Methotrexate
* We should be getting the MRI results back at the beginning of this week

Specific Prayer Requests:
- Continued mercy, strength and grace for Micah as he enters his third round of chemo
- Patience and wisdom! This little man is keeping us on our toes and knees!! He can be very hard to console and wants to eat all the time but will rarely eat anything.They are weaning him off the steroids and this produces major mood swings. We desperately want to help him but at times feel at a loss and just exhausted.
