hi there! guess what?! i can walk a little bit now as long as i can hold onto something like a table or the couch or something. that makes me pretty happy. i walk with a limp and i keep telling mommy and grandma “baby do it”, but i get frustrated and sad because i can’t really do as much as i think i should. i know mommy and grandma are proud of me for trying, but i think it’s really hard for them too.

we got the results from the MRI and i don’t have Avascular necrosis so that’s really good! that means that my blood vessels in my legs are okay. mommy thinks maybe i did have it, but that all of the prayers and God’s grace has healed them. the MRI did show damage to the bone of my left knee, which is why it hurts so bad, so we gotta keep praying that will get better too.

tomorrow i start phase 2 which is called “consolidation” and lasts 29 days. i will get the vincristine through my porta-cath (once) and Methotrexate in my spine (weekly), and instead of the steroid i took last time, i get an antimetabolite orally (every day). also, the naturalist mommy talked to in seattle is prescribing me some b vitamins to help me too.

anyway, i’d better go, mommy thinks i’m in bed asleep! *snicker*
please pray for me tomorrow for my next phase. nite nite!
