July 12

I had a great day today. Dr. Barnette came in and told me I was doing great and everyday I go without a fever or any kind of sickness is great! So far so good! My nurses are very nice, I like to bribe them with white powdered donuts, they love it!! My red blood cells are doing good, my platelets are a little low but the Dr. said we would wait until I had another bloody nose and then he would do a platelet transfussion. They still don't know why I have a rash it comes and goes so they just give me some Benadryl for the itch. I am done with two of my chemo drugs and only have the ara-c chemo left. I am on day seven with only three days to go. Thank you all for fasting and praying for me I know that is why I am doing so good! Tonight DuCharm's came to visit and brought me a Nerf Blaster. I have so much energy I could not let a moment go without shooting my nurse's Kathy and Tara (I am getting them back for waking me up every two hours to pee). They took it like pro's and just laughed! Well keep writing thanks for everything.

Love Trent

Hey Trent,

I'm so glad to hear that your treatments are going so good. That's really cool that the nurses let you shoot them with your Nerf gun. My mom said we could come visit you on Monday. My phone # is 254-2026. My mom's name is Bonny, so have your mom call my mom and see if that will work for you guys.

See you Monday

Trent - You totally ROCK for making it so far through your first round of chemo so well! Must be all that chocolate milk ; )! And shoot your nurses an extra time for me...all night nurses need a little more spice in their shift, especially if they are so mean to their patients that they wake them up every two hours.

Hey Trent,
Sounds like you are having a little fun shooting your nurses. I think it would be funny to see you shoot them. On sunday I have to give the scripture in sharing time. I hate getting up in front of everyone and wish you were here to do it instead of me. I know you would do it so I didn't have to because you are a good friend. You belly dancing with a painted stomach sounds so funny!! It made me laugh when my mom read it to me. I hope you keep getting better every day!!
Love,
connor

Dear Trent,
I hope you have fun shooting the nurses. I hope you like your game. Thank you for shooting the nurses.
from, Heather


Thanks for playing hide and go seek with us last night when we visited you. I sounds like you figured out how to use your new nerf gun. Keep doing good. It was good to see your smile again. Even though it was in hiding most of the time.

Trent,

It's really funny that you beat Brad always on the Godzilla game. Have you beaten The Chronicles of Narnia yet?

Yeh, I saw fireworks at the fourth of July. I kindof liked them. Did you know I was watching the same ones as you? We were at Rice Eccles Stadium.

I threw a ball to dunk a guy in the water at the game. It was so fun.

Lynda,

That was fine that you told Deanna and Jeff. How are they anyway? I have not talked to them for a few years. Hope they are doing well tell them hi for me!! I would love for you to come and catch me up on some crocehting skills! Just let me know. Are you doing anything fun this summer beside the family reunion? Tell the boys hi for me hope all is well. How is Tanner's going for Scott? How many years has he worked there it has been to long and I can't remember! Well I will talk to you later. Trent is doing well and thanks you for writing.

Love Tiff

Seth,

How are you? I'm still here playing and driving the nurses crazy. It was so fun to shoot them they are scared to come into the room. I have to promise I won't shoot them so they can come in. Are you doing anything fun this week. I can't believe it is Friday already I thought it was Thursday! Talk to you later.

Love Trent

Heidi,

Thanks for encouraging me on the night shift nurses. They will love you forever!! The nurses are so nice! Are you nice to your patients? How are your kids doing are they excited for a new brother or sister (mom can't remember if it is a boy or girl)? thanks for writing

Love Trent

Connor,

Hey bud! I hope your scripture in sharing time goes well. I will not have to do anything like that for many months to come I am kind of sad but mom says I will have plenty of other times to do it!! Are you enjoying your summer? Swim tons for me the only swimming I get to do is with a wash cloth or the shower, it's just not the same thing! Do you have people to take the puppies? Well good luck on Sunday I will pray you do good!

Love Trent

Kyle,

Those fireworks were awesome huh! Did you go to the show on the 4th and was it fun if you did. Who sang or performed there? Are you going boating this weekend? Guess what my mom finally let me watch Lord of the Rings. She finally gave in. I loved it, it was so awesome! Mom says she probably should not let me watch it but I convinced her all is well! I don't have narnia at the hospital only at home so I have not played in a while but I love the game have you beaten it? What other games do you like? Have a fun weekend.

Love Trent

Ducharm Family,

Thanks again for the super cool transformer nerf gun. I have already have hours of fun with it. Mom saw it Friday morning and laughed and said it was so cool. All the Dr. like it I think they are going to go get one for themselves!! It was good to see you and have fun. It lifted my spirits!! Have a fun weekend

Love Trent

Nurse Heidi said...

Trent -
Of course I'm nice to my patients. Night nurses are especially nice. They don't even mind being shot with nerf darts (most of the time). Sounds like your mom is learning a few nurse things. If she sticks around the hospital long enough they might put her to work!

My kids are really excited for their new baby sister to come. 3 1/2 weeks to go until my induction. I just put the almost last touches on the nursery today so I finally feel ready.

Keep up the fine spleen shrinking tricks.
