August 29th - evening

Well today has been a day of disappointments. They have taken me off of all but one nausea drug because of what happened last night. We will see how I handle the chemo tonight without the other drugs. Last week there was a discrepancy with the bone marrow evaluation so they took another test this week. This weeks results showed the leukemia cells have risen significantly. We have been moved to the "high risk" catagory and a bone marrow transplant is needed now. The process has already started and a pre-screening has already found several possible matches in the donor bank. We meet with the bone marrow transplant team tomorrow and will know more then. It takes about two months before the transplant takes place. We will continue with this round of chemo and the next one is supposedly really nasty.

We are having a special fast this Sunday and would like everyone to remember me in your fast. Love, Trent.

Hey Trent,
sorry to hear about the tests. I can't stand spiders, it is my biggest fear, don't tell anyone that a big guy like me is afraid of a little bug. (oops too late)

Remember the words that your dad said during your blessing Monday night. You are an inspiration to us all.

You are the toughest kid I know. Remember what the Hulk says

"HULK SMASH LEUKEMIA!!"

WE LOVE YOU TRENT,

Brian and Kaylene

Jeff and Tiff,
I'm so sorry about the last test's results. I can only imagine what you are going through. I don't know why we have to go through hard trials some times. Sometimes they seem more than we can bear. But the Lord has promised us that he will not give us trials more that we are capable of handeling. I know with very hard things in my life, I had to rely on the Savior and my Heavenly Father to get me through. I know that they are there, and they do hear your prayers, even if they are not answered in the ways we want them and when we want them. Know that they love you and Trent. Know that you do not have to bear this alone, your family and friends and ward are all here for you, they pray daily, are concerned daily and plead to Heavenly Father for comfort for you and your family. Anything we can help with, please ask. Tiff I need to know when and where I am the best use to you next week. I know we talked alittle last week about me staying with Trent while you demo'ed? I can do what you need. I'll call you tomorrow. We love you both and your family. You all mean so much to us.

Love, Melissa and James
