Gabey D. is our wonderful firstborn son. He was diagnosed with A.L.L (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) in May 2007, and has been going through a 3 1/2 year chemo treatment. We are trusting God, and believe He will show Himself Mighty.

Another Blessed Appointment

It's about 7:30am, and Gabey is watching Curious George, and pretending to be him. It is so amazing that he just had 2 powerful chemos yesterday! God has kept every side effect away! He is so good! The only medicine that affects him is the steroid, decadron. He's my little salami baby. LOL. Goldfish, tomatos, and salami.

Our appointment went really well. Gabey was just a little soldier getting his clippey put in. He closed his eyes again, and actually peeked when the needle was going in. He let out a funny little "ow". He knew it was supposed to hurt, but was surprised that it didn't. LOL. Afterward, he kept saying, "It didn't even hurt," Praise the Lord for EMLA cream (numbs the skin).

We watched videos, and got the zofran (keeps him from getting nauseous from the doxorubicin)and his chemo, and goofed off with the nurses and doctors.
Gabey gave some of the nurses crafts that we made this week.

I am amazed at his counts this week, the decadron is doing it's job. His counts on Thursday were 6600!
