Thankful in the Face of Adversity

The fight presses onward. The pneumonia has finally been kicked and Adam is looking forward to his last chemo session, which begins on Monday march 30. Hopefully this will be the end of the chemo and then he will move on to the radiation treatments.

As we look back to the last 5 months we can be extremely thankful for a lot of things. One, that the doctors found this early enough so that it can be treated aggressively , and secondly that Adam has not really had a lot of sickness while going through chemo. Many patients suffer extreme nausea and vomiting with many other symptoms and chemo effects. Adam, overall has not had a lot of that. Yes, he has lost his hair, and some weight, but those things can and are already coming back.

I know one thing for certain, that this kid has strength that I never realized that he had. He has more strength than his ole dad that's for sure. He has shown great strength, faith and persistence and yes, even patience in this. It is not over, but I know that regardless of how ever long his battle may be, he will make it through this.
