Trent's eyes looked really good yesterday.
He went to a show in the lobby with guests, so the eyes are improving every day.
We are just waiting for blood counts to increase so Trent can go home.

The doctors have diagnosed Trent's eye pain as conjunctivitis.
This inflammation was brought on by the chemo treatment.
The eye drops that Trent has been getting is the treatment for this condition and he should be fine.
Trent had his eyes opened several times yesterday, so he is getting better.
Trent is done with chemo on this 5 week program, but the chemo has push his blood counts down.
Trent has had a couple of transfusions of platelets this week and at least one transfusion of whole blood.
The doctors will let Trent go home when his blood count goes back up.
Thanks for all your prayers during Trent's struggles!

From Kristie = Monday
Please pray for Trent's eyes! In the last 24 hours he has been in extreme pain and unable to open them (This is caused by reaction to the chemo).
I would like to share what I learned last week from my Bible study:
There is nothing- No circumstance, No trouble, No testing- That can ever touch me until, First of all it has gone past God and past Christ, Right through to me. If it has come that far, It has come with a great purpose, Which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, As I lift up my eyes to him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, No sorrow will ever disturb me, No trial will ever disarm me, No circumstance will cause me to fret- For I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is- That is the rest of victory.
Please pray for Jerry and I to stand firm in this!

Saturday
Trent is done with this weeks chemo treatment and is done for the 5 week session.
Yesterday he was alert and done with the weeks cat napping.
The doctors will put him on a white blood count medicine for the rest of the 5 weeks.
Trent will stay at CHOC until the doctors are happy with the white count, probably another week.

Trent started next chemo dose yesterday.
He will probably be very tired and sleeping until Friday.
He seems to be taking this chemo well.
He has been in good spirits and active since Saturday, so this week should be about the same.

Trent looked really good yesterday. His energy level is up and his spirits are good.
Next round of chemo starts tomorrow. He'll have chemo every 12 hours that will finish up on Friday.
Trent will be very tired and sleep most of the time.
After this round of chemo, the doctors will just wait until his blood count goes back up to release him from CHOC.

It was good to see Trent smile yesterday. What a boost for the heart!
He has been sleeping most of the week. Along with the stronger chemo, I think the medicine for CJE make him tired too.
Kristie got him to sit up and eat fruit which probably gave him some quick energy. His meals have been very small at best this week. Kristie said that later Trent and her walked down to the garden for a while, so he is feeling better.
