How ya doing Spare? Any news about Kendall? More prayers sent bro!

she's doing ok this week, we finshed up the oral Chemo on Sunday, she gets two weeks off before she starts the second cycle. I forgot to give her anti-nausea medicine Sunday night, and guess what we were cleaning up at 2 am. Shes a tough little girl, she handles it better than her mother and I do. She's braging now about she only says ow, and doesn't cry when they pull the needle out of her shunt. Her hair is starting to fall out pretty good now, it bothers her mother an me more than her, this is the first time since we started all this three years ago that we have a constant visual reminder of whats wrong with her, before you could forget she was sick for a moment or two. SHe is scheduled to start back on Chemo on the 16th, the day after my wife has her surgery.

Still prayin' for your family. Wish I wasn't gettin' gray and losin' hair, I would love to do Locks for Love for kids in this situation.

God gives us strength at these times, I pray for you and for Kendall, may it please be as easy as it can be and a speedy recovery.

Hopin' for the best to Kendall and your wife...tuff times ahead...be strong for them...we'll be thinking of you...I remember hearin' a story about a dad who's kid was losing all their hair...he kept his head shaved for the duration, so they'd look alike...

My family and I pray for you and your family every night SP.

I know it is tough, but keep faith and believe, God will show you the way.

I already keep my hair shaved pretty close, my oldest daughter(8) told her mother that she wanted to grow her hair out long, then cut it off for her sister to have wig. One of these days, when they are both fighting like cats and dogs, I'll have to remind them about sisterly love.

SP, do you know about "Locks of Love"?

They collect hair from donors and make wigs for kids who need them. My middle daughter has sent hair twice to them. (you have to have 10 inches cut off to send)

yes I do, thats what my oldest was refering too. My wife was kidding around with my oldest telling her she ws the only one in the family that was going to have any hair( I don't have much to begin with, my youngest is loosing hers to Chemo, my wife will probably loose hers when she starts chemo), so she said she was going to shave her head too, we got a scream and a few laughs out of it

everything went well with my wifes surgery today, took longer than expected( 5 hours), but they got all the tumors, and the preliminary report on her lymphnodes came back negative. Let all hope the final report comes back negative as well. Shes doing well( can't keep her mouth from moving, its working fine) shes on enough pain killer that she doesn't feel any pain. She said "today, its all about me!" Shes scheduled to come home Friday. Keep us in your prayers, its gotten us thru alot allready
