It has been a while since we have posted any updates. Attending Bible
Bowl nationals last week and getting back into life’s schedule has left
little free time.
We are in Bloomington at the moment at the Proton
Therapy Center. The current schedule is for Kenny to complete the last
of the proton treatments next Wednesday. There have been a few very
minor issues that have developed over the last few weeks. Kenny’s
throat has burned some from the radiation field and it has been
uncomfortable for him to swallow. It has been more like a continuous
score throat. He is still losing weight; not as fast as it had been
thanks to Jo but still an issue that is closely being monitored. I
think Kenny is starting to have nightmares of his Mom chasing after him
with multiple high protein milk shakes in hand telling him to wash down
his saliva with another drink. His smell and taste are non-existent so
there is really nothing that he enjoys
eating. Add to that his decreased appetite from chemo and it has the
potential to be a perfect storm. The saving grace is Kenny’s age and
willingness to eat/drink more than he really wants.
Kenny had
two full weeks of chemo and is on an off week this week. The schedule
is for him to continue the current chemo for 3 additional 3 week cycles.
Prayer concerns
Kenny’s weight loss.
All of the cancer cells have to be destroyed either from Proton or chemo treatments for this fight to be successful.
5 months into treatment and there is still a very long road ahead.
Praises
Proton Therapy was made available for Kenny’s case.
Kenny is finishing a science project this week – he will finish his school year before the deadline.
The medical staff that have worked so hard to get us to this point in time.
God’s provisions in a difficult storm of life.
The prayers and support that we have received. We really do not know
where we would be had it not been for all of the intervention.
