September 30th day +146




1st picture- Me and brothers playing
2nd picture- me holding a cute nurse's baby it was so fun
3rd picture- me being silly with the remote on my head
Sorry it's been a little bit. The doc's say I am back to where I was before I got sick a few weeks ago so they feel the drug is working. Thursday is the last dose for the drug but because they see a little results they will ask the company for 4 more weeks of drugs. They are slowley cutting me off my steroid once a week, they want to get me to 1 kilo. So far so good. I am feeling really good. I am not pooping blood anymore it's back to my regular color, I am pooping way less so I am so happy for that. They are clamping my nose tube to see if my tummy can handle it. We are starting it off slow and hopefully soon I will get it out, the snot up there is killing me. Today they surprised me and took out my pic line I was very nervous but it was ok. I am glad that they took it out. I am so excited to be feeling a little better my goal is to out by Halloween. Me and mom have gone out into the garden a few times and read Harry Potter. That's about all that's new hope everyone has a great day.
Love Trent

What a handsome group of boys! I am so happy to hear that things are going better for you Trent. I bet it is a great relief to not be so sick every minute! I hope you can continue to feel better and that this new drug will keep doing what it should. We pray that you can come home soon!
Love,
Kristin Doyle

You are so lucky to have that pic line out. What a pain in the neck those things are. Did you get a port instead or are you just "natural"? Harrison will have his port in for another year or so. I can't tell you what a relief we feel. It was like we were holding our breath and can now let it out. Thank heaven for medicine. I know it has been hard for you and the stuff they give you sometimes feels like it is worse than the leukemia. Keep on Keepin' on. You are one manly man. Maybe we can see you when Harrison comes to Primary's on Thurs. for chemo.
You and your family are still in our prayers,
The Bashores'

Trent,
This is such good news! I hope you are out by Halloween, this stay has been a long one. You are looking really good, not so sleepy. I'm glad you feel well enough to act a little silly too. It looks like you have a lot of fun with your brothers and how fun it must have been to hold a baby. I'm so happy you are improving, let's hope the drug company will give you more medicine. Keep feeling well! Love, Trisha
