Update

Ethan is feeling much better.  Over the blah nauseous feeling.  Hasn't vomited at all since he got home.  

Yeah!  No mouth sores AT ALL!  

Going to class today, Wednesday.  Eating well. 

Special praise that he and his friend, Luke, were able to make panini sandwiches last night  and not catch anything on fire. (If you know Luke, you will understand!)

Ethan is home...feels lousy, but should feel better in a day or two.  Still no mouth sores! 

His next admission isn't until February 9th...Lots of blood count checks in clinic between now and then, but that isn't so bad.  :)

  
Please pray that his nausea can be controlled by his meds.  He was really sick this morning.

Pray, as always, that he can grow closer to Christ through the pain.

Thanks to everyone for coming alongside us in this journey. 

Tegan's sister wasn't willing to shave her own head in support of Ethan, but she did shave her cat!!  

Next Round

Ethan is all settled in for his next round of chemo.  Electronics are in place; Gatorade, Orange Crush and chocolate milk are in the fridge! 

Hopefully he will be home Sunday or Monday and then he gets a two week break from the hospital.  Yeah! 

 

     Pray that he doesn't get as nauseous as he did the first time he had these chemo drugs.  So far no mouth sores.  :)

Delayed

Hershey did not have any beds today and they would like Ethan's sore throat to heal some more.  

The plan now is to admit Ethan on Friday if his blood counts are okay.  His throat doesn't hurt nearly as much as yesterday, so  pray that he will be able to be admitted on Friday!

Home

Ethan came home around noon on Monday.  He is feeling good and so far does not have any mouth sores.  

He will be admitted again on Wednesday, but then he'll have two weeks off!  

Thanks for the prayers.  He has stayed in good spirits despite the Saints' defeat; football team that is!

Next Admission

Admission likely this evening depending on blood work drawn at 2 pm.  Ethan loves visits from friends....keep them coming! 

You can always call the main number 531-8521 and ask for his room or his nurse.  He will always be admitted to the 7th floor.  

We've discovered the teen lounge where there is a large TV and table to play games...it feels less like a hospital there. 

Thank you for the prayers and meals!  Keep praying he doesn't get mouth sores and that the chemo clears his system more quickly this admission.
