There is so much to update on Kenny and it has been difficult to find
the time to get something out. The schedules, work and other items of
life has kept us on the move.
Kenny has had one full week plus a
day of chemo treatment under his belt. It was a struggle with the
insurance company to get the authorization processed and approved. I
cannot calculate the amount of HOURS
that were put in by us, the hospital and doctor’s office to get this
approved. Finally that was fixed a few hours into the start of his
chemo. The doctor’s office was able to get clearance to have home
health care to perform the chemo from our house starting today instead
of having to have the treatment from the office/hospital. This is going
to save about an hour a day traveling.
Proton treatment will
begin this week for a 7 – 8 week run. A ‘dress rehearsal’ will be done
tomorrow and full treatment will start on Wednesday. The last 6 weeks
of hospitalization, surgery and treatments have been working run up to
Proton starting. We are excited that the date is finally here.
Kenny is doing well. He has had a couple of headaches the last 2 weeks
that we thought might be side effects of the chemo but yesterday he had
a period of double vision during church service. Since the tumor grew
with the hardest hitting chemo they could give him and he was off of
chemo for 5 weeks before and after the surgery this is not really
surprising.
Prayer concerns
Proton/chemo treatments will kill the cancer.
Kenny is protected from the harmful side effects of the treatment.
Kenny can complete his sophomore year of school before the August deadline.
Praises
We are able to successfully keep up with everyone’s schedules.
Jess not being able to find a summer job has been a huge blessing in helping out with the younger kids.
Being able to have home health care perform the chemo treatments from our house.
We have a Proton center so close to home. There are only 4 in the US that handles pediatric patients
Thank you one and all for your continued prayers!
