Well, we truly have enjoyed our month long break from chemo and so thankful that radiation is finished! I do confess that I thought our month would be back to "normal" and that hasn't been the case. It also hasn't been bad. Forester just hasn't felt as good as I had hoped. He's done a lot more sleeping in the last few weeks, still vomiting from time to time, and losing a bit of weight. He's had good bursts of energy and normal moments but then he'll get sick and it's a very real reminder that things are not normal and won't be for a while. I am not complaining - I hope I don't come off that way. Just trying to describe to you what our "break" has been like. On Saturday we embark on our week-long Make A Wish trip to DISNEY! We are all very excited and the boys can hardly wait! Please pray that Forester has lots of energy and feels well the entire week. Pray that he doesn't have any nausea or vomiting. Also pray that our insurance will approve an override that will allow Forester to receive more Zofran. Zofran helps so much with the nausea and vomiting & he needs to take it twice a day - at least. Our insurance only gives us 36 pills a month. Not nearly enough! We're going to try and run the prescription through again today. PRAY that it goes through. I want Forester to feel the best he can, especially in this next week.
What's next....
After we return, Forester will have an MRI on June the 10th, dr. visits on the 11th and 12th and most likely will start his 2nd phase of treatment on June 15th. This next phase will last 6 months. He will be admitted to the hospital for 4 days and recieve 2 new chemo drugs. He will recieve a different chemo drug (Vincristine, which he has been taking) 4 days later in clinic and then have the rest of the month off. This cycle will repeat every 28 days for 6 months. I'm sure I will post more details about all of that as we get closer to our start date.
So, this post is mainly just to ask you to pray. For the meds and for a great and safe trip for all of us. Pray that it truly would be enjoyable for all 5 of us and also Muzzy and Pop who are coming to help! We'll take LOTS of pictures!!
We love you and can't tell you how much your prayers and love for us mean! YOU ROCK!

Whitney, I have some Zofran (an oral solution) that we no longer need. Would you like me to mail it to you?
Wishing you a great trip and Forester lots of energy!
Hi, I am Karol, Peter's mom's cousin in Minnesota. Just heard about Forester from my mom. We will be praying for him and for your family and will have our small group pray too. So glad to find your blog.
