Thank you all for the uplifting quotes and thoughts. It always gets my day started in the right way!
This came late last night. Today will be Chemo #10 (of 21) for Kyle. Thank you for all your support for him!


Hello everyone.
I know when I wrote last week, I mentioned Kyle's new medicine he has to take. I wanted to write a quick update before he goes again on Monday. We were told the new medicine (gabapentin) would take 4-5 days before it really started doing anything. After anxiety and prayers, we did decide to give him the medicine but we did not start it until Tuesday night. He takes the medicine twice a day, every day. So in theory, we should not have noticed any changes until Saturday morning at the earliest. We have not noticed, or been told by Kyle, any negative changes. There are two things we have noticed... he has been more happy for longer periods than he has been in months. He has had a few extreme angry/upset, but that could also just be him being three and Katie picking on him. The other thing that has changed... his appetite has significantly increased. Today (Sunday) especially he wants to eat and ate entire meals with no prompting (not normal). At lunch, he ate three pieces of pizza, lettuce, cheese, a couple cubes of ham, and 1.5 brownies. That is a lot of food for him.
We don't know if the medicine has started to work and he feels that much better, or if it is coincidence that he is just feeling better. We don't know if he was in pain every day and it finally is subsided, so he finally feels good. We don't know if he is in a growth spurt (although we were told to not expect any growth while he is getting chemo). We don't know if he just loved seeing friends at church today and that put him in a good mood. We don't know what the change is, but there is a change today.
Although we do see light at the end of the tunnel, we are trying to stay focused on one day at a time. Kyle is doing awesome, so we just keep praying he stays strong.
