Update on Byron

Today we traveled back down to Houston for another round of intra-arterial chemotherapy treatment for Byron.  The doctor's said that he wouldn't have any real big side effects from this kind of treatment, but I am not sure that I believe it.  He was just not his usual happy little self these last three weeks.  First of all, he had double ear-infection, which I know isn't from the therapy, but still added to it all.  He didn't really eat very well, and he was pretty fussy most of the time.  I can only imagine what the side effects would have been had we chose to go the route of regular systemic chemotherapy.

I am so grateful for this new technology that they have come up with these days for treating certain conditions.  So grateful that the treatment is not taking the eye out anymore....could you imagine our sweet baby boy without both of his big blue eyes??  Regardless, we wouldn't love him any less, but it would just be a reminder of what he had to go through for the rest of his life!

Preparing for this trip this time has been a huge bear!  I am so grateful for the organizations that are out there to help out with the expenses for this sort of thing, but sometimes it would be so much easier to have the funds ourselves.  BUT who PLANS for cancer??  Trying to get in contact with different people, and have them get in contact with others to get things taken care of, and not being able to get in contact with people is, need I say, frustrating!  We are so exhausted from it all!

We are, however, so very grateful for everyone's thoughts and prayers in Byron's behalf.  Thank you so much for your kindness and love!  We love all of you and are thankful everyday for all that is being done for us.  Sometimes it is hard to see the blessings through all the trials, but it doesn't take much looking to see that there are many, many blessings.

Just as a reminder, if you would like to donate to aid in in the expenses of treating Byron, there are a few ways to do so.
