September 17th day +133

They have started the new drug, I have had it twice, with six more to go over 3 more weeks. It's actually cells that have been broken down and will help heal my gut. It's awesome what they can do these days, there is a name but I can't remember it. The doctor's are so excited for results. I am excited to. They put a tube down my nose that goes into my stomach. It's sucking out all the backed up poop and other fun stuff in it. I am not in to much pain so that I am thankful. They have also cut my morphin back so I can actually stand on my own and not feel like I will fall. I am very sleepy the last few days but hopefully it means my stomach is healing!!! Hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you later.

Love Trent

Trent,

We are so thankful for Primary Childrens and for all the Dr.'s and staff there. They know what they are doing and we have to trust them. Remember God's plan and know that you are surrounded by tons of people that love and care for you. We keep you and your family's names on the temple prayer roll and even our kids name you and your family in their own prayers. This trouble is hard work. I think you are a pretty tough guy. When Harrison got sick I turned to Heavenly Father and my testimony strengthened enough to help find comfort through the rough patches. We are thinking of you. Maybe when we come to Primary's next you can have a visitor.

Trent,
I am grateful you were healthy enough for Dr.'s to start the new treatment! It is awesome the technology they are using to treat your leukemia! I am sure you are grateful for that tube to be sucking out all of the backed up stuff so you don't have to throw it up anymore! I am also grateful to hear that your stomach might be healing and you feel like you can stand on your own and not fall! It sounds like what they are doing is making you feel better! YEA!!! Trent, you and your family are such an inspiration to me!!! I love you tons and will continue to pray for you that you can get rid of the leukemia! Love Shelli

Wow, Trent that drug sounds amazing. What a blessing to have such great doctors!

When Luke was on his mission, he got really sick. He had an appendicitis and after the surgery had a tube put in through his nose and down into his stomach to pump out green, slimy gangrene- yucky. It pumped out yucky stuff for a few days. No fun. Luke says he hopes your tube pumps out all that fun stuff quickly and hopes it helps you feel better.

Love you, Luke and Emily

He has so much to teach us in this life and I know that He shows us who we are during experiences in our lives-especially tough ones. I am sure you have learned a ton! :) He must really know just how tough you truly are and what an example you can be to so many of us. Thank you! You and your family have taught us so much!

Very cool drug! We are praying that it will work. I hope you feel better. Hey Trent if you needed poop sucked out, James could of probably used his plumbing tools and sewer machines to do it :-)! Just kidding. We are glad that you are feeling better. Hey, let us know when you can have visitors, Aspen would love to see you. But we don't want to come if it is too risky for you. But know that she asks about you almost everyday. We love you guys.

Love, The Fackrell's :-)
