Crazy train with Asa and the rest of the crowd - August 6, 2014

Yes, I think Asa joined us on the crazy train today.  We are just trying to keep our hands inside the car and hold on for dear life until we arrive. Asa is still a bit nauseous.  Keep hoping that will lift and we will see more eating.  You can visually see fat falling off him and that's frustrating. He's nursing but picking at food and won't really take a bottle or other drink.  Had birthday cake for sister tonight and he wanted cake badly, but hardly tasted it, just painted his high chair with it.  Chemo is so brutal to the taste buds.   

Tomorrow is clinic day.  Please be in prayer that nausea stays at bay and our minor chemo is uneventful.  Tony and I are both frustrated that this last chemo round has been harder on him after all he's endured.  You get to where you just want it to be over with and it drags on, when we should be grateful that he has no tumor, etc.  Pray that germs stay at bay the next two weeks.  Life on lock down yet again and kids are very ready to see light at the end of the tunnel.  Please be in prayer for our friend, Caroline, as her bone marrow biopsy still shows leukemia cells.  I know their family is discouraged and options are very limited now.  They are going home to relax and reassess.  Cancer is just stinky.

Thanks today for birthday fun and crazy, crazy little girl who keeps us young.  Grateful for dental insurance and good teeth reports from most.  We have a few slackers.  Thankful for cars that run and extra drivers and a borrowed backhoe to the rescue.  (Don't ask.)
