hello again. i didn’t get to wake everyone up last night ’cause i was too sleepy. i’ve been having a much easier time ’cause i’m getting a medicine for pain that helps me walk so my muscles stay strong sometimes it makes me sleepy too though–but mommy says the more rest i get the better. so today was an even better day…i got to walk around and play more than yesterday

guess what tomorrow is?! mommy’s birthday!!! i’m so excited ’cause we’re gonna have cake and ice cream too! don’t forget to tell my mommy happy birthday! i think i heard daddy say he’s gonna take her out to dinner

you know what else? daddy got a call from the doctor and they already have my test results…they say i can remain in the low-risk group for now because i’m under the 5% mark–probably at about the 2% mark they said. now today is day 17 of a 28-day treatment. if i am completely free of cancer cells by day 28, then i remain in the low-risk group and therefore get a less amount of PEG shots and chemo for phase 2. so thank you all so much for your many prayers–we know they made a difference and will keep making a difference!

well, i should get to bed–i want to feel good enough to play with grandma and mommy and daddy tomorrow!

nite!
