November15th: day -2 in process

I am so tired today. The chemo does 2 things to my body, one part kills all fast growing cells the other part goes to my kidney's and can damage them. So they put me on a ton of fluids so I can pee all the chemo out and so it won't damage my kidney's. Because of this they make me pee every 2 hours, again. I hate waking up in the night to pee. I gave mom & the nurse a hard time because I was so tired and just wanted to sleep. Mom would have let me if the nurses were not there, but I know they are just doing what is best!!! So today is the last day of chemo thank goodness!!! I am so ready for a rest day it's not even funny! My throat hurts because of the mouth sores that are starting to form so I am not eating hardly anything. Tommorrow night they will probably put me on TPN (which is nutrition in my line) because I am not taking in enough calories. I asked the nurse why they didn't do it sooner cuz mom and dad kept trying to make me eat. She laughed. I want to tell everyone thanks for fasting and praying for me.

Love Trent

Trent,
You are such a trooper! It is never fun to feel sick, huh? We hope you feel so much better soon. We are praying for you every day. Do you remember chasing my girls with Russell's help? My girls used to make me crazy because I could hear them screaming in the backyard. That was probably a lot of fun for you, huh? Silly boy! You'll be back running around soon and it will be so much fun! We would love to bring you and your family a fun treat when you get home-we can just leave it on your porch and ring your doorbell and run...we know you can't be around people and their germs!!! You just let us know what you would like or we will surprise you! Have your mom call us when you are ready, ok?
Hang in there!
Love,
Joy and family

Trent-
Do you love watching Buzz Lightyear? I love you Trent.(Ty)
We miss you a lot. Sorry you can't eat. Just think it will all be better soon. When you're feeling up to it what will be the first thing you will ask for to eat? We love and miss you, and hope that you can go back home soon and run all over. Remember all our Easter Egg Hunts? All that chocolate... Yeah!! Maybe since you are having your bone marrow transplant tomorrow you will be hunky dorey to meet up with us for one fabuloso Easter egg hunt next year. Tyler thinks that the Easter Bunny comes on Thanksgiving. I have been trying to convince him that we still have Christmas and a few months before the Bunny comes. he/he :) Well we will be checking in frequently over the weekend to hear how things went. You are in our prayers and we love you tons-Love Tyler and Crystal

Payton and I are looking at all of your pictures and all Payton can say is Trent, Trent! I think he misses going up to the hospital and jumping, rolling, and almost falling off the bed w/ you.
We are glad you are doing well w/ your chemo and we are always praying for you! We love you Trent and we will see you in Febuary!

Love,
Amber, Payton, & Xoie

I'm so happy you are getting another birthday. Is Saturday the 17th still the day? I'm sorry you feel so sick, eating is overrated. Just think,if we didn't have to stop and eat we would have more time to play and have fun. Soon you will have more energy and you'll feel like eating again, maybe some nice,greasy pizza. Sounds so healthy doesn't it. My kids were cheering and jumping around when I told them you were in remission. I think I just cried. I hope you know how much we care about you and your family. Love, Trisha Rodriguez

Hey, Trent!

We hope things are going good for you! I'm sure it's not fun to be so sick during this time of year, but just think....get better and go home and you will be able to eat all of the candy you want!!! I'm sure your mom and dad would let you eat it all day long after all you've been through. Be strong like we know you are....you are in our prayers each day. We love you guys!

Love,
Geoff, Monica, Hayden, Maryn and Brynnlee

Amber, Payton & Xoie,

It was so good to hear from you. How is Pittsburg? It looks like you are having fun and doing good. I miss you guys so so much. Tell Payton I miss him and him coming to the hospital and jumping on the bed also. That was so much fun. I have done it a few times since and I scare the nurses. Well I love you all, how is Mike doing in school?
