Hospital Mode

This morning we have switched the Saxon machine to "hospital mode" once again. Paul does it pretty easily. Afterall, he does enjoy laying in bed watching movies, having one-on-one with mom or dad, playing UNO and games with all the child-life staff, etc. In FW today, Paul will begin the same round and doses of drugs he received 4 or 5 weeks ago. The first drug, and most toxic is today and tomorrow, and the less toxic will go on Friday, Sat. and Sunday. Unlike the first time, he feels good now, he isn't getting radiation, and as far as we know, he doesn't have an injured tooth that will abscess this time. Things to pray for this week: low toxicity (nausea, fever, etc.), affective on tumor, smooth days there and at home. Thanks to all and to the Lord for so many blessings!

P.S. Dont' miss Leigh's latest essay "New York" in the side-bar links.

Hi Saxons,

We are a family here in Oregon that have been praying diligently for you all! Otto and Johnna, friends of ours (and yours too!) shared your site with us a while ago.

Paul holds a very special place in our hearts, and especially in the heart of our 5 y/o daughter. Just know that we are and will be praying everyday and sharing it with others asking them to join us!!!

Praying for you all this week. For strength, stamina, faith, and comfort. For good times. For feeling good. And for healing.

Leigh, I love your New York article. Wonderful.

Leigh,
I wanted to let you know that a six-year-old classmate of my son's here in Dallas has pre-AML, and she is in New York for a bone marrow transplant. Her mom, Lynette Thweatt, is staying at the Ronald McDonald house for the next 100 days. I'm thinking you might run into her....you are both such sweet, strong women. I do hope you meet. The Web site for Sydney is www.sydneythweatt.com. Paul is in my prayers.
