From Kristie

God is perfect in his wisdom, his ways, and his timing. God doesn't make mistakes and he is always in control. God is the Divine Designer of Trent and knows what he is doing. I trust him in this journey and for  his recovery. This trial that threaten us are actually "overruled" by God. We know that all things work together for good to those who love God.
Without his word right now I don't know what I would do!!!!

Friday

This week Trent was diagnosed with myoclonic juvenile epilepsy. With medicine, this stage can be controlled to stop seizures.

Trent is not in a real good mood right now. This is going to take time.

He has had his chemo for this week. White counts should go down and Trent may not be able to have visitors, but I’ll check today and verify.

This chemo is very strong, but Trent is taking it well with no side effects outside of a headache yesterday. He is sleeping most of the day right now.

Next chemo should be next Wednesday.

This young man is doing well with his fight with medical challenges. I’m sure he is tempted to feel angry and frustrated. Please pray that he finds peace in some fashion while he rearranges his life and looks for courage to battle on an invisible field.

Wednesday

Trent's tests turned up negitive yesterday, so doctors don't know why he blacked out.
Could be his low blood pressure or the neuropothy medicine Trent is taking.
The doctors are running a sleep deprived EEG today, so Trent will be sleeping most of today to catch up on no sleep last night.
Trent's blood count is up now, so he starts chemo today or tomorrow.
He will be at CHOC for two to three weeks on this 5 week chemo cycle.

Tuesday

Trent kind of "blacked out" yesterday and his knees gave way.
He's not hurt, but Kristie took him to the ER and they admitted him to CHOC.
He had some twitching of the muscles as well.
They ran a MRI last night and will run a EEG today.
We should know more this afternoon.

Sunday

Trent had a good weekend!
The motor that Trent blueprinted and assembled started, then blew a fuse, but restarted fine and got burned-in without troubles.
We need to set carbs and timing prior to putting into the wagon.
Trent goes for blood tests tomorrow with maybe back to CHOC on Tuesday.

Saturday

Trent's Friday white count is still too low at 620.
He'll get tested again on Monday with a possible CHOC visit on Tuesday.
The white count needs to be above 750 to go to the next treatment.
Once again, we are just going to enjoy the weekend at home.
Trent is finished on the motor for the Willys and we will start it on the burn-in stand in the garage so we can tune it up and fix any issues in the garage.

Tuesday

Trent's white count is still down, so no treatment this week.
He needs to be above 750. Yesterday he measured 500 on his blood tests.
They will test again Friday and possibly to go to CHOC on Monday.
Another week off chemo!
