Words cannot express the thanks we have for everyone who has helped in the miracle of today!! We want to thank Chick-Fil-A for the wonderful fundrasier they put on. We are so humbled and amazed at the wonderful people, friends and family who love Trent and our family so much. Trent is very lucky to have so many loving people to care for him he truly feels the love coming from everyone's generosity. Trent continues to have fun each day, we are wearing him out with the fun we are having as a family. He is doing well very tired but in good spirits. All he can about today is WOW. We are truly blessed in our lives. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

Love, Trent & family

October 11th

Thank everyone for everything!! My family and I feel your prayers every minute of the day. We have been having so much fun doing things as a family. I have eaten the fast food I have wanted for so so long. It is good but I only handle a little. I am not in pain and still am making my family laugh. Dad and Grandpa gave me a blessing last night, it was beautiful. I know all will be well. I will not be in anymore pain or hurt, my family will also be ok. I will miss them terribly but they tell me time is different so I will have faith in that. To all my little friends please know I will miss you and await the time I can see you again. I have sure missed playing and having fun with each of you. I know everyone has to work through many feelings but please promise me not to be angry with Heavenly Father. He loves each and everyone of you and knows what is best for each of us. It is in his plan that I return to him, my time is over and I am ready to go. Please know I did not give up I would continue to fight if it was what the Lord wanted please be at peace all will be well. Love you all

Oct 10 day 2 home (Jnote about Trent)

He made it home last night after a very long day. It takes a lot to get everything set up and learn the meds. His sweet family of five finally got their moment alone at 11pm. They are sleeping in this morning and looking forward to breakfast around the table. Trent tried very hard to make it to the REAL soccer game last night, but was very worn out. He had his dad take his brothers for part of it. After a good nap he finally got his Wendy's fix. It's been a long time since he's had fast food. He could handle one bite of the burger, fries and frosty, but it was sweet. Thank you everyone for your love and prayers. We have received many calls and emails, Trent loves all of the pumpkins and balloons. Thank you for the snacks and cards. We are working on getting a love mail box set up, but for now things can still be dropped off across the street at my house. All of those who have offered to bring in meals, I will get with you soon, Trent still has a few cravings to satisfy first. The pumpkins look so cute with all of the signatures, there is a pen out there for anyone else that comes by. I will post more later about whats going on. Chick-fil-a fundraiser -see sidebar cows Thank you Everyone!

".....nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt." Mark 14:36

The experimental drug has been working and has started to get the graft v. host under control. This has allowed me to have a couple of good weeks. I have had very little pain, have been awake, and can get out of bed by myself. The whole purpose of striving for graft v. host was that it would kill off the remaining leukemia cells. Now that graft v. host is coming under control we have found the leukemia is still here. The graft v. host was the last chance I had to win the battle. I have fought hard for fifteen months and still want to keep fighting, however Heavenly Father has other plans for me. I will be going home tomorrow. We are going to have fun as a family and do whatever I want to do for as long as I can. We will let everyone know what is going on but right now we are only focused on coming home. Our Father in Heaven knows what is best and we have faith in Him. Thank you for the prayers and my love to all. Trent.

Watch the site for updates and info on events for Trent. The first thing we are going to do is welcome him home with some fun Halloween decorations. Anyone who would like to put some signs out or drop of a pumpkin is welcome too. We are also trying to get an absurd number of purple, green ,and orange balloons for his room ,those can be dropped of at my house across the street. We are trying to get everything we can by tomorrow, before the snow gets here. Thank you everyone for your love and understanding.

October 8th day +154

The last few days I have been throwing up yuck! The doctor wants to try and get my nose tube out but my gut is not liking that. I hate the nose tube and totally want it out but I don't want to throw up either. A few posts ago I told everyone I got my pic line out, that was the line in my arm, I still have my double lumen in my chest they can access. When that comes out I will be done with all of this! They are taking me off one of the antibacterial drugs today. They are going very slow with decreasing and taking me off these meds. Yesterday I finished with the 8th cell infusion. They are going to re-submit my case so I can get another 4weeks of cells. I am doing so much better and hope the cells continue to work. The coolest part is that I finally after 5 1/2 months have formed poop!!!!!! Well hope everyone has a great day.

Love Trent
