He he. Papa, Joshua, Cousins Sydney, Shanna and Calvin.

All of the kiddos sleepin in the tent. Even Andrew stayed there ALL night.

No comment

Joshuah and nana. He had gone to bed at 8:00 and then awoke to all of the noise. He wasn't sure what to think about everything.

All the kids were so excited to do fireworks. Here the are watching the famose black ugly snakes. whoo hoo

Joshy enjoying being outside with everyone.

He just got a bath and then decided he was going to sit in my flower beds and make a dirt hole. Nice Andrew.

Shanna putting the tent up, with the "help" of the lil ones.

4th of July!! Dad, Shelly, Roy and Josh (duh) :)

Yes I let my child fall asleep in the bathtub. Yes he was supervised!

Andrews first skate board! One his of his surprises for getting 3 stars on the calendar for not wetting in his pull up!

Andrew thinks that whenever I turn on the sprinkler is for him to play in.

Father's day. Breakfast in bed with daddy. First off peanutbutter cereal.

First day of "school" yes in the summer!

Ok so because we didn't see Dr. Kohler in Medford yesterday I was able to talk with her on the phone for a little bit to go over all that was suppose to be discused.

She said that Josh's lab work looks good. His cell turnover rate? was good and that was encouraging to her. She said that areas of his labs that she had been watching because they were out of range is starting to look a lot better. AMEN so does that mean the chemo is working and the cancer is going away? We don't know and she didn't say that. I don't blame her. CYOA. Dr. Kohler said that Josh counld start working on standing with his leg braces if he wants. Last week she said she didn't want him doing any physical therapy more then range of motion which is what we are already doing with his leg exercieses everyday. She is concerned that the large tumor that is in his abdominal area is weakining the pelvis and she doesn't want to put anymore strain on the area then there has to be. Anyway! He gets to work on standing HOORAY! Josh has a CT scan next week to check on things. We see Dr. Kohler next month on the 20th.
Josh is still felling pretty tired and run down today. Had a better night. We ALL slept ALL night. AMEN! He will start back up on the Sutent within the next couple of days. Keep us in your prayers.

Does everyone agree with me that it is time for healing?!?! We had a rough night last night. When Josh is off of the chemo he feels pretty crummy. Everything hurts, he is very sleepy and just uncomfortable. When he is on the chemo he feels good. He suppose to start his 3rd round of chemo tomorrow but he was suppose to go to the doctor today in medford to work out all of the details. Josh's insurance was changed to a managed care plan and they are not paying for the chemo and at 7500 per round we are praying he qualifies for patient assistance. So I am waiting for the doctor to call me back regarding today's apt. Because of the lack of sleep we got last night and the discomfort Josh is in we obviously didn't make it to Medford.

The boys are doing well. Andrew is loving school, and so am I :) He plays outside as much as I'll let him. I am still not to comfortable with him going to the neighbors unless I am outside to keep my ears open. The neighbor kids love to come over here though and play on the swing set even when Andrew is not outside. I put a stop to that one.

Joshy is such a happy boy. Eats sleeps and plays. He just took a cat nap on the couch and has woken up. Instead of crying and wanting to be picked up he is just laying here talking and kicking his legs. Sweet boy. He finally has started rolling from him back to his tummy and I find him more and more sleeping on his tummy. Scary

May the Lord bless you and keep you strong. Enjoy the beautiful weather but remember to stay hydrated :)
