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.

This picture is from Saturday. My sister and we went to Goody's for dinner, and then shopping. Gabey was so funny, and silly.

He's getting back to normal. He's laughing and being silly a lot. Yesterday, by afternoon, I was worn out, lol. I love that he's getting his energy back. Even with the extra weight that he has to carry around, he's trying to run, and he's moving around a lot. I'm glad of that. He still has some weakness in his legs, and needs help with stairs, and can't get up from the floor unless he pulls himself up with something. I'm not sure when that will go away, as it's a side effect of some of the chemo. His hair is also getting very thin from the VCR, and we're seeing shedding on his car seat.

I have been trying to be patient. I haven't heard from the doctors yet. I finally just emailed the one doctor yesterday, asking if they had any info yet. I'm going to call them today.

It's been a great week though, and I'm glad. Gabey only has to take 2 meds now, and one is just a tiny dose once a day. The Bactrim though, is gross, and a whole TSP full. We have to give it MTW 2X a day. It tastes nasty, and we try to sweeten it with powdered sugar, and syrup, and that ends up making even more for him to take. He freaked out with Jeff last night, and just refused to take it. :( It's like a cold med to prevent Pneumocystis pneumonia. I wish I could get in pill form, to crush up, I'm going to ask about that when I get to talk to the Dr. today.

Gabey's outing

Hi! It's Christine. I thought these pictures would be cute. Shari came today to pick me up for a drive on my lunch. They were getting bored and it was a nice day. He can't really go any where there are people but we were able to go to the park. We had to be careful that he didn't play in the dirt and we kept sanitizing everyone's hands. It was so nice to see them. Gabey was so cute cause he said "take a picture of me by the tree." How could I resist. Here are some of the pictures I took:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket I love this picture of me and my sweetheart. I sure do miss him.
