1st Round Completed

Jordan finished his first round of the new chemo. They said this drug usually doesn't cause nausea, but it did for him. He seems to feel fine in between it all, but it has been a lot of sleepless nights again for Brent and I. While he has recovered well from the surgery, I can't say things are a whole lot easier yet. He finally decided he wanted to eat tonight and had some chicken and icecream. He actually wrestled Sitara for her bowl when we wouldn't give him more, but eventually threw it all up. It is very frustrating. The feeding tube drives us crazy. The pump is always beeping about something. He does wear the backpack now, but we are still very anxious be to rid of the whole system. It is slowly getting better, but Brent and I are running on empty.

Thanks for the update. We are praying for endurance as you face this final stretch. I loved your posting to Carin about the cancer moms sitting on the beach!!! I could picture it so clearly. You will be there! I know it seems like an impossibly distant dream, but you will make it there! Hope you are able to get some sleep soon.

Hugs,
Andria and John

Continuing to pray for you. Tonight Tobey said, "I love the Busby's...they're like a special occasion." Well put Tobes.

May your family be a "special occasion" many times for the Krippaehne's in 2008...particularly at BBR!

We love you guys.
