The latest

We had a much better week thank God!
As soon as I figure out how to get my camera to take a good video of Christopher I will let him continue to fill you in on the latest with his battle.
Right now the biggst battle seems to be with the healing of his "stump" .
He survived the last emergency visit to the hospital a little over a week ago for high fever and a low BP scare and is now doing very well. He ended up staying for only 3 days which was amazing considering how hard he crashed.
The following week we saw Dr. O'Connor, hoping to get his stitches removed and be that much closer to getting his new leg. However, the wound (scar) on the right side was not looking so good so she decided to keep the stitches intact until July 10th.
It seems chemo is not great for the healing process and Dr. O'Connor is concerned about the next 3 weeks of chemo possibly interfering. Normally she would open up the area again (minor surgery) and remove the excess scabbing and wounded tissue and reattach the skin. But because Chris cannot go without continuing his chemo process this will have to wait. We are hoping and praying, as is Dr. O'Connor, that she can keep this level of amputation. So please help us pray for some better healing of that area!
Tomorrow morning Christopher will be admitted for round 8 of his chemo protocol. He will have 3 weeks in a row and then a little reprieve.
Until then he has enjoyed being able to have had a week at home to relax. Today he had a wonderful visit from his Uncle Tom, Aunt Jose and his four cousins...many thanks to them for making such a big difference in his day!
Hope to get some live video soon...
Lots of thanks and peace to all of you!
