Friday

Trent has been doing great since he's been home.
His energy has been good.
He had a visit from a nutrionalist named Louie Smith. What a eye opener!
We've done some engine building for the Willys.
It's been a good week.

Trent got released

Trent got released from CHOC this afternoon. We are back home.
We go back next Tuesday for next treatment, but it will be outpatient in the CHOC hospital.

This weeks treatment

Yesterdays treatment went real well. Trent came out of the procedure smiling and chatn with the nurse. He spent most of the afternoon napping. He had more chemo later in the afternoon by IV.
If I read the roadmap right, there is no chemo today, so he's done for the week.
If things go well this week, the doctors might release Trent later on this week and he would do the rest of this sessions chemo through the outpatient clinic.
Please keep your prayers coming in for Trent. We are waiting for donor test results and I know Trent would like to head home.

Tuesday Week2

Trent had a good weekend. Thanks for the visits!
Trent has school from 8 to 10am this morning and Thursday morning. Chemo is scheduled for around noon on Tuesdays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are probably good days to not visit. He is usually very tired and sleeps during the day.
We should get results back from the donor tests this week. If Grant, Kristie or I are a match, we will be good for the bone marrow transplant. If none of us are a match, we will start the process of finding a donor match. I'll post some good info from Trent's donor coordinator on where to get test kits.

Sunday's visits

Trent got lots of visitors yesterday after church.
Lots of smiles and laughs. It was food for the soul.

Sunday

Today I'll be video recording Pastor Bob this morning so that Trent can view his sermon.
Trent, Grant, Kristie and I attend the Taft Ave Community Church.
Along with the youth group at TACC, Trent also attends youth group meetings at two other local churches.
I cannot say enough about being part of a local church. During the challenges that have faced Trent and his family, our church family have stood by us and supported us like only a family can.
Having God surround this family, has given us peace that Trent is under the ultimate care and love.
Trent has more energy the last couple a days being off chemo. We walked around the hospital yesterday and talked about this upcoming summer and his senior year class schedule.

First week

Trent got through his first week of the new treatment.
His spirits were high yesterday and looks like he's reacting well with a diet of pizza and peanuts. Sounds like my kind of program.
His next dose of chemo will be Tuesday, so he'll have a nice couple of days off treatment.
