First two weeks off chemo treatment....

God is so good!!! I'm just so happy that my son is off chemotherapy treatments for 2 weeks. His ninth treatment was on March 21, 2013 and his Papa was in town. God blessed Dalen with the best Birthday week ever, because his grandparents were in town. My mother visit him for three weeks and fried him all the chicken he wanted. Dalen loves grandma fried chicken and so do I. And Papa (my Daddy) was here for three days and Dalen was in paradise making everyone laugh. His energy is back!!! Dalen has one more week before his tenth treatment. So we are going to enjoy him and all his jokes...thank you so much for all the prayers and love that has been sent our way. We are so thankful and we LOVE you all. The journey is not over, but God is continuing to bless Dalen. Please continue to pray for Dalen......

The Birthday party...

God is so good!!! He keeps on blessing my son...We had such a great time at the skating party. So many came out to celebrate with us and I was so happy! God blessed Dalen with Energy that I have never seen on a Saturday after chemotherapy treatment. He was so silly! He was skating! He was dancing! I was so happy. I want to thank everyone for coming out. You all made his 12th birthday party the best one ever!

Seventh and Eighth treatment....

Last week, Dalen and I followed our Thursday routine to the clinic. Around 12:30 pm I arrive at his school for early pick up. He's happy when I see his face at sign-out but this instantly change when he opens the car door. As I prep the port site with a numbing cream, he starts to feel nausea. I ask" Dalen what is wrong?" He replies " Mom, I don't want to do chemo. Every time you put on this cream, I get sad. I just don't like chemo." My heart drops again has it always does, but what can I do? I remind Dalen of the 13 year old girl we met last week at the clinic and how she now makes treatments apart of her every day life. And how God will never have you go through anything without Him being there with you every step. We arrive at the clinic and Dalen emotions are all over the place. He doesn't sit in the waiting room anymore because the smell upsets his stomach. He sits in the hall with the saddest face. I know Dalen is upset because of the chemo, it shows all over his face. As we wait for the results from the Lab, the doctors inform us that They are going to drop the dosage of the vincristine because Dalen is really sensitive to this chemo drug. Vincristine is the 15 minute treatment that cause all the stomach, back, and jaw pain. I was happy to hear this but Dalen wanted to hear "No chemo today". The week went by okay. Dalen did not have any jaw or back pain but there were stomach pain. The stomach pain wasn't as bad as normal. He was also, extremely tired and lost his appetite. However by the following Tuesday, he was back to school. The school is now training Dalen on the device that will help him see the board in class. This device enlarges items and display them on its screen. He was so excited about this and so was I. He is also, learning how to type and how to read Braille. Dalen was very excited about learning to type and read braille. He told me that its super cool and that if he goes blind he will already be prepared :( ..Today, we follow our normal Thursday routine. However, when we arrive to the clinic Dalen asked the doctor can they do the surgery to remove the tumor after he learns how to type and read Braille. Tears begin to roll down my face. My baby hates chemo and the way it makes him feel so much that he rather go blind then go through chemo. Here I am thinking that this past week was okay for him. That maybe Dalen is getting comfortable. Dalen loves to entertain people. He loves to make every one laugh. He loves to play basketball. But this chemo is stopping him from doing all the things he love. Sometimes being a strong mom is so hard!...the doctors informed Dalen that surgery would not be a good decision because the tumor is on his nerves that could damage more then just his sight. She talked about other methods like radiation and chemo in forms of pills with us. She also, informed us that this is the introduction to chemo and in a couple of weeks Dalen will not be receiving chemo treatments for two weeks. His routine will be four weeks on chemo then two weeks off. Dalen's big smile appeared and here came a joke! How exciting, no chemo for two weeks!...please everyone continue to pray for Dalen. ...The outside appearance may not show how the inside really feels.

Dalen Birthday Party

Dalen will be 12 years old soon. I normally plan a party for him but cancelled this years because of so much was going on. I told Dalen of my plans and his heart dropped. With so much going on with chemo and his vision lost I was so worried about him, but I have now changed my mind. I can't limit Dalen from fun. I'll just wait until he lets me know. This Saturday March 16 Dalen will have his 12th Birthday Party! If you are in the Orlando area please come out to celebrate with him.
