I have Ian and Eliana for a few days. Tomorrow Braeden will go to our local children's hospital for a bunch of tests and then his momma and daddy will take him to Springfield Illinois where he has an appointment Monday, there with a specialist who deals with problems with immune systems. If I haven't already said so, evidently the cancer isn't so much the threat as getting his immune system back functioning correctly. Sometimes the treatment works and sometime it doesn't. There can be a life time of devasting after affects if it isn't corrected and quickly. Kevin was surfing the net today reading all he could find about this IS stuff. He read that it can affect maybe 1 in 100,000 people and for different reasons. One little girl's IS was thrown for a loop by a simple cold. They got it turned around and then when she got another cold, they weren't able to ever get the treatment to work. I won't tell you the results, it's so disheartening.
He was struggling emotionally telling me this stuff. It's not easy for them. Dumb thing to say, huh? Anyway, pray for a safe trip for them, ease of having the tests run, and comfort for the little guy. He has had good days and then days of vomiting and discomfort. Today Kevin shaved his head because they didn't want to deal with the shock of his hair falling out. So his big brother got a really short haircut too. And I gave my DH, his namesake his summer shaved head "do" tonight.
