Done With Round #2!

Tommy was pretty nervous when we got there.

This is the port, and the Chemotherapy.


This is the oncology clinic



They give the cancer patients
free hats when they come in,
Cute huh!


Going back home!


Tommy went in for his 2nd round of Chemo on Saturday. He wasn't able to eat after midnight last night because they were going to have to do anesthesia for his routine treatment. We had to wake Tommy up about 6:30, which waking him up normally isn't the funnest thing, but to wake him up and tell him he has to go to the doctor, that's much worse. I told Tommy we had to go to the doctor last night, and he was OK with that, until today I accidentally said we had to go to the hospital, and he freaked out. It was altogether a tough morning.
We were supposed to be to the hospital at 7:30, that was the day after the HUGE snow storm. We left our house with plenty of time, the roads were ridiculous, even I-15 hadn't been plowed. It took us a lot longer to get there that morning, but we made it. When we got to Primary's we went to the 4th floor to the oncology/hematology clinic. When you get there they will always check Tommy's height and weight first just like at the doctors office. Then we had to access his port, Tommy knows we have to do that but doesn't know it involves a needle. We didn't want him to know, since he had the numbing cream we knew it wouldn't hurt, and we could distract him as they put it in. So that was the plan until this "Child-Life psycologist" comes in and starts talking to him about what they are going to do to him. We had told them before that Tommy would do better if he didn't know there was a needle involved. So the "psycologist" pulls out a doll, shows him how they are going to clean him, that was fine, then she pulled out the needle, and it was all over. Tommy was screaming at her and at us. So we asked her to stop explaining it, I think it was making it worse, I'm sure she didn't like that. So then the nurse came in to do the procedure and we had to hold Tommy down, luckily though the numbing cream did work, and he was fine as soon as the anticipation was over.
They drew some blood for the labs, then we had to take him down to the RTU (Rapid Treatement Unit) for another Lumbar Puncture and Bone Marrow Aspirate and Biopsy, and he will be sedated for both.The lumbar puncture is to make sure they keep the leukemia out of the spinal fluid. They have found in the past that when they only threated the perriferal arteries of the body with the chemo, they killed all the leukemia there. However, later the leukemia would be found hiding in the spinal fluid because not all of the veins and arteries reach the spine and the nervous system, since it's an entirely different system than the cardiac system. So Tommy will have to have quite a few back pokes, unfortunately. The bone marrow aspirate is to look at the bone marrow, since all the blood is made there, they make sure the marrow is making the blood correctly, and to see how much leukemia is left. Then the biopsy is where they go look at it in the lab. They do use large needles so after Tommy will be really sore, the first time the doctor did it she had to do it a few times because the marrow was dry, OUCH!
So as we were waiting for the anesthesiologist to come talk to us, all Tommy could think about was what he wanted to eat! He wanted chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-a and ketchup and string cheese. So we made sure we ordered his food right away so he could have it as soon as he woke up. Tom walked him back to the RTU and watched them put him under, he went right to sleep. The doctor said everything went well, as soon as they were putting on the bandaids Tommy woke up calling for us and for his food. We got right in there and helped him eat his lunch. It was so funny, he was extra mad not only from the "roids" he has to take, but from the anesthesia. He was yelling at everyone, Tom and I were trying so hard not to laugh, because if we laughed he'd yell at us more. He was so hungry he was inhaling the nuggets, he put the whole thing in his mouth everytime. Luckily there was a respiratory therapist in there with us, but she was quite nervous watching him. He enjoyed his lunch and a yummy slushee they have in the RTU.
After we had to go back up to the oncology clinic upstairs for his Chemo. They put the chemo in and pulled his port back out. Tommy did really well, he was happy to get the port out again. Then the doctor came over and gave us his lab results. He is actually doing well, usually on day 8 they usually need a blood transfusion, Tommy's was good, his hematocrit was 32.6L. If it's less than 20 they will do a blood transfusion. His platelets (the cells in the body that make blood clot) were at 53L, which is why he was having brusing when we admitted him. When we admitted him on the 15th, his platelets were at 9, his hematocrit was at 12 and his ANC (Absolute Neutrophil Count) was at 2.0. That is scary how anemic he was, thus the pale skin and the bruising, the constant leg pain is from the leukemia inside his bone marrow causing it to swell and push against the inside of his bones. Tommy's ANC, that is his ability to fight infections, especially bacterial infections. A normal ANC is usually about 3,000- 5,000, so when it falls below 500 there is a greater risk of developing a serious infection. Tommy's is only at 1.0 or 100 so his immune system is pretty much nothing right now. We have to be extremely careful with hand-washing and kids coming over to play constantly, but especially now with his counts being so low. His WBC (white blood cell count) the infection fighting cells, is only at 1.8 right now too, which when we admitted him they were only at 2.4 which is why his croup wouldn't go away for about 3 months. It's all starting to make sense to me now, if only we had known a little earlier.
On the way home, Tommy was still hungry, we had to stop at McDonalds for some more chicken nuggets! They aren't kiddin when they say these steroid make you hungry, Tommy's going to eat us out of house and home. It's funny he's thinking of his next meal as he is eating the first. The other day we were drawing and he kept asking me to draw pictures of food. They say this month he will probably gain a couple pounds a week, which a great because I'm sure down the road when we switch chemo types, he'll start losing weight.
Yesterday was a crazy day, I for the first time in at least 2 weeks was going to go back to the gym. Tom stayed home with the kids, and he said take your time, you need it. I was so exicted to get away and get some exercise. Before he left he said make sure you check your tires because my tire has been leaking. So in my car is a PSI sensor, which is a dream. I checked it and it looked good so I took off. On my way down, Tom called me and said Tommy had a rash. He said he'd take care of it and call the clinic and ask them what to do. I was a little nervous to keep going, something told me to go home, of course I didn't. I knew Tom could handle it, and if it was serious I had my phone, I could come right home. Tom called me back and told me he was fine, they just said to give him benadryl. As I was on the phone, I was getting on the freeway and felt my car shake and start driving funny. I look down at my PSI thing and it says right front tire 3 then 2 then 1. I had a stinkin' blow out! I think I may have cussed, I'm sorry but it felt like everything that could go wrong in my life was. So I pulled over started crying and called Tom. Tom said he'd get someone over with the kids and be right down. As I'm waiting for Tom, three huge plows come by my and cover me with snow, not just once they came twice while I was sitting there, nice huh! My cute neighbor Sara came over to watch the kids, Tom came down to my rescue.
We did have a good night, Tommy felt well other than his constant head-aches and tummy aches, which are common side affect of the disease. Our sweet friends the Otts came and brought us a yummy dinner, thank you Janelle! Tommy has been a lot more tired than usual, he has gone back to taking naps everyday, and he's actually not fighting them. He has had fevers on and off the last few days, nothing too high yet. They say if he has a fever of 100.3 for an hour you have to take him to Primary's and they give him a general antibiotic. They treat all everything as if it's a bacterial infection until they can find out exactly what it is. And if they can't get the fever down or if his counts don't look good, they'll admit him. So we are hoping he can get rid of these fevers.
Today he's kindof bored, I am too. We are sick of movies, games, puzzles, coloring, and laying on the couch. If you have any ideas of things he could do that don't require too much energy let me know, it's going to be a LONG winter! We love you all and appreciate everything you have done for us. PLEASE KEEP TOMMY IN YOUR PRAYERS!

Merry Christmas!

We had a very special family Christmas Eve last night. Usually we go to my mom's house to celebrate Christmas Eve, and she always has a really nice dinner and a special Christmas program with all the brothers and sisters and grandkids. Since we couldn't go over with my family because Tommy's immune system is so low, we stayed here and made our Christmas Eve just as fun and special.
My cute sister Holly brought us dinner, some yummy banana cream pie, and made us some sugar cookies for the kids to decorate for Santa. Thank you Holly, it was so delicious! So we ate dinner, had our special Christmas program with the kids singing and Tom and I told them some Christmas stories. It was fun to have it be just our little family, there was a very special spirit with us last night. After our program we had some banana cream pie and decorated our sugar cookies for Santa, they mostly ate the frosting-that's the best part! Then we watched the traditional "Christmas Story" and got them to bed. They were all so ready for bed and ready for Santa to come!
The kids woke us up bright and early to tell us Santa had come, so we jumped out of bed and opened our presents. Tommy got his millenium falcon he wanted, he was so excited! Tommy
was so concerned that Tom and I had presents to open too, he's so sweet. The kids got what they wanted, Santa was so nice to bring them what they asked for. After breakfast Tom made us his delicious "Tomcakes" as the kids call them, our pancakes. We hung out, put together the toys and played with them all morning.
It has been a great day, besides the BLIZZARD outside! Wow, what a storm! Our parents are both coming out to visit today, hopefully they can get here with the crazy weather, Tommy is really looking forward to seeing Nana and Papa, and Grandma and Grandpa.
Tomorrow we have to be to the hospital bright and early for Tommy's next treatment of Chemo and his back poke, and another bone marrow biopsy. So today we have to make sure it is as fun as possible for Tommy because the next few days are going to be pretty miserable again I think. He is not excited about going back to the hospital tomorrow, so wish him luck!

Tommy is so happy to be home!

These Pictures were taken 3 days before he was admitted to the hospital.

Today was Tommy's 2nd day at home, and he couldn't be happier. We started the day off as usual, breakfast he had a big bowl of Honey nut Cheerios, then sat by the fire with Brooklyn and Zac and watched cartoons. We had the home health nurse come over and help us today, his name is Dillon, Tommy was actually kindof excited that it was a boy nurse. He came and de-accessed Tommy's port today, meaning he took it out, yeah! They will re-access it everytime we go to the hospital to get our treatments. But for now the darn thing isn't bugging him, and he can take baths without having to put plastic all over his chest.
He got to have his friend Niko over, yes he was healthy. Tommy wanted Niko to help him play Lego Star Wars, because apparently I am not good enough! So he enjoyed having a friend over to play with, they started getting a little wild, that made me a little nervous. Tommy wanted to go outside and play in the snow so bad today, it's hard to tell him he can't because he's sick when he isn't feeling sick. It breaks my heart that he is being put through this, he is being such a champ about everything. I wonder sometimes if he knows what is really going on, like he's being helped through this by the spirit. I hope so, I know I can't get through it with out Christ, I know He will help Tommy too.
Tom had to go to Wyoming today, the first time he's gone back to work in over a week. It was hard to have him away, I had a bit of anxiety waking up this morning and having to do it all on my own. Luckily it was a great day! Tommy really missed his daddy today, they are buddies. My mom came over and helped me with the kids tonight, we watched "Mr. Grinch" one of Tommy's favorite Christmas movies. It was good to have her here, Thank you for all of your help mom and for your words of comfort. I love you! My parents are leaving on a mission to Thiland in a few weeks and I know it isn't going to be easy on any of us, but I know as she serves the Lord they will be blessed as well as our whole family.
Tommy is really excited for Christmas, he has been counting down the days. He about fell over when I told him Christmas Eve was tomorrow night! He asked for the "Millenium Falcon" Spaceship from Star Wars, and I'm sure he's been a good boy this year that he will probably get it! I wish I could give him everything in the world right now just to make him happy.
I love you little Tommy, I hope you have a good night sleep and an even better day tomorrow.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

We're finally Home!!!

Tommy got to come home today, after a long week of intense chemo, poking, drugs, doctors, nurses, scares, and lots of laughs and tears. We came home to a big Welcome Home Tommy sign on the door, and his Aunt Tami, Uncle Bryan and his Grandma decorated his room so cute with balloons, new bedding, and toys! We spent the night hanging out with Grandma, Nana and the family, it is sooooo good to have him home. He took his first bath in a week, and that was kindof tough because we had to make sure he didn't get his port wet, but he enjoyed the HOT water. He is feeling so much better today, and he is acting so much more like Tommy.
Today he had to get his first of many PEG shots into the deep muscle of his thigh. PEG is another chemo drug that kills the amino acid asperiginase (sorry about the spelling), which helps leukemia to grow. They have found that if they kill this amino acid they are helping to kill the leukemia as well. He was actually really strong, Tom told him they were going to do it before they did and he was really scared. The two nurses did the 2 needles at the same time into his thigh and Tommy was really stron, he cried a little but not too bad. They said they have a lot of kids that need to be held down because they hit and kick the nurses. I am so proud of him. They have to watch him for a few hours after to make sure he doesn't have any sort of reaction, if he does they don't do anymore PEG shots.
Before we left they had to give him another bag of platelets because his level was only at 21, which is pretty low. He had the platelets and we were able to go home. Taking him home was as scary or even more scary than taking home a newborn baby. I was making sure that we had the house clean, which I owe HUGE thanks to Meleesa, my sister and my cute nieces for coming and slaving away at home, THANK YOU! Tom cleaned the car, carseats, we drove very carefully home, obeying the speed limit which is a plus for Tom, and just as nervous as can be. Now I'm the nurse and I have to make sure he stays healthy and gets all his meds, he gets 2 doses of his dexamethazone steroid a day (the mad pill), prevacid for acids caused by all the leukemia cells dying, antibiotics, pain meds, stool softeners, and an anti-nausea medicine. WOW! I am quite overwhelmed.
We have an appointment Friday, the day after Christmas to get our 2nd round of Chemo, he has to get another Bone Marrow Biopsy, and another back poke (Lumbar Puncture) to continue to treat the spinal fluid for Leukemia that may sneek in there and hide. So that'll be another tough day, and then we'll come home and go up to Primary's once a week.
Thank you all for your thoughtfulness, all you wonderful messages, calls, cards, gifts, visits, generosity, and especially prayers. I am sure that I will be needing all of you who asked what you can do to help, I am feeling the pressure. Tom has been such a huge strength to me, I couldn't do this without him. He has been by mine and Tommy's side the whole time, even with all the other stresses he has to deal with. Nothing else matters now, it puts life into perspective very quickly. I am so happy to have Tommy home for Christmas, that is all I wanted. May we all think of Christ and his life and love for us as we celebrate this Christmas season. Merry Christmas!

Life Changing Week

This has been a life altering experience for this little family. I'm probably not going to write a whole lot on this blog but leave most of it up to Heidi but I had to say something before I forgot.

Wow, what a week! One moment you have a perfectly healthy son and the next he's going through Hell. What I wouldn't do to take the burden he is bearing away from him and carry it myself. Unfortunately that's not the way life works. For some reason this little person has to endure something that no person should have to think about going through. It's one of the tests that Tommy has to overcome and I know he will. It just amazes me at how quickly life can change in an instant. This is the most humbling experience of my life. I thought I loved my kids before this and now I want nothing more than to spend time with them just to hang on to memories and let them enjoy their daddy. Nothing is more important. The trials that I thought were tough in our life before this are nothing compared to when someone does not have their health and just having to watch them suffer is so painful.

There is a positive side to this and a huge Silver Lining. Tommy could have been much worse. The cancer did not go into the spinal column, it was not the AML type of Leukemia, it's not an incurable tumor and he's such a stud about all of this. There is a very high cure rate which gives comfort. I never thought that a little guy could have so much Valor. It's amazing to see what the human body and spirit can endure when tried and tested. I thank the Lord daily for the positive results in the matter. This is going to be a good experience for this family. We'll be much stronger in the end and I know Tommy will pull through a fighter and survivor. I only wish I had his strength.

Tonight Heidi called me back to the hospital because Tommy had stopped breathing. I rushed back with snow packed roads and luckily was only at my bro-in-laws house picking up my youngest, Zac. John came with and we administered another blessing which I'm sure he'll need more. It just seems to me that in a way my boy wants to go home and get away from it all. I can't write this because it's making me emotional and for anyone who knows me I don't share my thoughts like this. But I know that he's not done hear and for whatever reason needs to stick around long enough to complete his task that he was sent here to do. Part of that task for him that was so important is happening right now, bringing people together and strengthening families. It's so amazing to me how the Lord knows best. This has litterly brought me to my knees and given me humility to know how to handle the situation that's been placed in front my family and me. It has brought people together. We have had an amazing amount of love and support. People really know how to rally when someone is down and it has blown me away at how many of you sincerely care and are willing to help in any way. Thank you all so much!

If there's anything that any one of us can learn from this is that life is fragile and you need to make the most of every moment of your life because life changes quickly. This is already a positive event and I want everyone who reads this to know that we'll make it through this. The prayers on Tommy's behalf, generosity and helping hands will only help. Again, thank you from the Hasletons.

Tommy's 5th day at the Hospital.

Tommy started Chemo yesterday, boy was that a scary experience! To watch them shoot toxins into my baby's bloodstream, that was painful to watch. They do what is called an IV push where they, using the port-a-cath to access the veins, they slowly push the chemotherapy into the catheter then they'll pull back to make sure they still have blood return, so they know there is good blood flow. The nurse is all gowned up and has thick purple gloves on when she administers the chemo because it is so exremely toxic it could burn through your skin if it touched you. The scary part of that is they are putting that extremely toxic stuff right into my little boys veins-SCARY! Last night after the chemo, it was Tom's night to sleep here, we take turns to that one of us is getting some sleep every other night. He said that his pulse had dropped to 38bpm which is extremely low for a resting heart-rate even in a child. They had to hook him up and watch his heart for a couple hours last night.
Today he actually started feeling and acting a little more like himself. He hasn't gotten up, or walked since tuesday because it hurt his legs too much. Today we walked to the bathroom and wanted to stand a little more than normal which is a very good sign, it means that the chemo is working. The reason his legs hurt is because the leukemia cells are in the bone marrow, they were rapidly multiplying causing the marrow inside the bone to swell which would cause him pain. That is why for the last 2 months or so his legs have been hurting so much. If I would have only known it was leukemia and not growing pains, huh!
He is on a steroid called Dexamethasone, or Decadron which is a partner in killing the cancer cells and increases the effectivness of the other anti-cancer medicines. It's main side affects are increased appitite, weight gain, and fluid retention. Also it can cause irritability and mood/behavior changes, or what they like to call "ROID RAGE". Our friends have a little boy who is also going through this right now, they warned us about the "Mad Pills", but until you actually witness it you don't really understand. One minute he's fine and the next he is screaming at you for something so insignificant. It can be really funny or it can be exremely frustrating. He was playing Lego Star Wars today with Tom, and he was yelling at him the whole time! Tommy had Tom in tears from laughing so hard. Then he can go from yelling into crying, his hormones are so out of whack!
Tommy has had so many visitors and today was really the first day he was able to interact a little with his friends. He was a little mean Ashton, I'm sorry, it was the "roids" talking not Tommy. He really likes seeing people so if you feel 100% healthy we would love to see you. He wants to tell everyone thank you for all the wonderful gifts you have brought him.
Tonight was one of the scariest things, if not the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life. Tommy had fallen asleep about 7:30 and was in a very deep sleep, also sedated on Morhine and Benadryl for the itching it causes. Tom and my brother Brian had just gone home and I was sitting down to write in my journal about 10ish. I was watching his heart rate because of what Tom had said happened the night before, I was a little peranoid about it. I watched his heart-rate drop from like 70's to 60's to 40's then to 38, and I was freaking out a little. I called the nurse and of course the CNA came in,, I respect her because I used to be one, but you are not a nurse. So she came in and checked his heart-rate with her stethascope because the pulse-ox was a little off all day. Then she called the nurse after me demanding her, the nurse came in to check it the same way and said it did sound low, but not quite that low about 60bpm. We decided to put on the little stickers that have wires, sorry forgot the name, to monitor it more closely. So while Tommy is in his deep sleep, I am trying to wake him up without making him mad. Tommy isn't the happiest person when you wake him up naturally, but with his "roid" medicine it is much worse! So I had woken him up, talking to him as nicely as I could and asked him if we could pull his shirt up to put stickers on him, and he screamed at me "NO!" So then the CNA was pulling his shirt up and he was getting more and more mad until he was crying and screaming. Then he started coughing, I was right by his face and he looked and me and was blue, his lips his whole face! He sat up trying to catch his breath and couldn't he was completely blue and was crashing. So I yelled to the nurse as he was turned around, "HELP ME! DO SOMETHING!" and he turned around and grabbed Tommy, shook him a little bit. Then he was still not breathing, the nurse and the CNA were in like panic-mode or something because I had to yell "Get the oxygen!" I owuld hav grabbed it but I was on the other side of the bed. They grabbed it put it on him and then there were a few more nurses and doctors in the room, I'm sure they heard me screaming. All the sudden I wasn't by him, I was freaking out thinking I'm going to lose my son right here, bawling I couldn't watch. They pushed the Code button so all the docotrs and nurses were in the room now, and now I am absolutely bawling ready to pass out. Finally he came to and wanted me because you can only imagine how scared he is to be surrounded by all these people and things. Right when he came to I wanted to pick him up and hold him forever, that was the longest minute of my life. They gave him an EKG to monitor the rythems of the heart to make sure it was funtioning properly. They found a little irregularity in his heartbeat but nothing serious. They brought it down to the cardiologist to look at and he said it looks fine.
I called Tom and told him to come right back up, so he brought my brother John up, Thanks Johnny, to help give him a blessing. It was a beautiful blessing and the spirit was very strong. I know that our Father in Heaven is watching him closely and is helping him through this.
I might be up all night watching his heart-rate because I am so freaked out now. It was quite an eventful day. Hopefully the rest of the night and tomorrow aren't quite as eventful! Please continue to keep Tommy in your thought and your prayers, he definately needs them! Thank you all again for all you have done for our family, thank you for your kind words of encouragement, keep them coming, we need those too!
We love our little Tommy with all of our hearts! He is seriouly "Tough as Nails" He is a fighter and he is going to win this battle! He is our HERO!

Pray for Tommy!

Our little Tommy was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on tuesday December 16, 2008. He is quite a fighter, and we know he will overcome this obstacle. He was sick on and off with croup for about 3 months, it just never quite went away. He would complain a lot about his legs hurting, which a lot of little kids complain of having "owees" a lot. We thought it was just growing pains, or maybe calcium deficiency. Then he was looking more and more pale, and the day before I brought him to the pediatrician we found random bruising on his body. So I took him to my wonderful pediatrician Dr. Strong, and we went to get his blook tested, later that day we were admitted to Primary Children's Medical Center and diagnosed with Cancer.
Tommy is seriously amazing, he is my HERO! I can't imagine being 4 years old and taking on something as HUGE as this, he has quite the battle ahead of him but we know he can do it! He was so excited to go to the hospital, he couldn't wait to sleep there and have parties, he said. I think he may have misunderstood what it's all about up at the hospital, but that's alright we talked about all the fun things we would do at the hospital all the way there. He has been a trooper the whole time, and has been the nurses favorite patient because he's a little charmer.
So he had his central line put in 2 days ago and that is how he will recieve all of his meds, his Chemo, pain meds, they will draw blood through there too. It is a port that runs from his chest to his superior vena cava of his heart, so everything flows right into the bloodstream. The same surgery he had his first of many, unfortunately, lumbar puncures to check for leukemia in the spinal fluid. That came back negative, which is a hige blessing, otherwise they have to treat that another way too, and it is a lot worse. He also had a bone marrow biopsy to see how much the leukemia has spread. So he has been very sore from all of that.
Today he started his first treatment of Chemotherapy. The first month is supposed to be very intense for these little ones, they want to have him into remission after the first 29 days, if not before. Then he continues on with the treatments for 3 1/2 years. They have found that that is how long it takes to completely kill the leukemia in boys. So we are in this for the long hall, but I know that the Lord will and is blessing us. I wouldn't be able to go a day through this without the love of our savior Jesus Christ, that is my rock. I have great faith that the Lord will watch over Tommy and will make him well. For some reason Tommy needs this trial in his life, it is very hard to understand now with him being only 4, but someday we will understand and it will be worth it.
It breaks my heart to watch him go through this and there is absolutely nothing I can do but watch. If I could take this disease from him I would in a heartbeat! He is such a special boy. He has been in severe leg pain the past few days because the bone marrow is swelling with the leaukemia cells multiplying and that pushes against his bones. For the past few days he has pretty much been confined to his bed because it hurts to bad to move or stand. For my crazy, roudy 4 year old, it is heartbreaking to watch him like this. We have done a lot of puzzles, coloring, watched lots of movies, read lots of books, and played LOTS of lego star wars. Tom and I are gonna be pretty good at that game, I think.
Tomorrow is another day, I hope it is better than today. Today was really hard on him, I think he is starting to get a little down. He has had a lot of visitors from our family and lots of freinds. We are so grateful for all the visits, it brightens up his day. Please if you do come, especially if you are bringing your kids, everyone needs to be 100% healthy! Tommy's immune system is way down and with the Chemo will only get weaker in days and weeks to come, so please wait until everyone is totally healthy to visit. Trust me there will be plenty of time for visits!
Thank you all for your calls, we have had an overwhelming amount of Love and support, We appreciate it more than we can express. Thank you for you gifts, they are so thoughtful and Tommy is enjoying them he thinks it's already Christmas. Thank you for your prayers, there is nothing more important right now than prayer, it is ultimately what is going to get us through this battle. We love you and hope to see you all healthy soon!
Check back soon!
