Happy New Year!

So it is now 2009! What a year 2008 has been, hopefully this year won't bring us quite as many surprises. So tomorrow morning we are headin back to Primary's for our 3rd round of Chemo! He also has to get another LP and Bone Marrow test done, this was the week we were hoping to have off with those tests. The results of the bone marrow last week showed that Tommy has more than 5% leukemia cells left in his blood, meaning that he doesn't fall into the "early responder" group of the kids tested. Only about 15% of the kids fall into this category, but we were still disappointed that he didn't, it is discouraging. He was really doing well until this week, this week has been a lot harder on his body. He has been a lot more tired. Other than the time he spends in the kitchen eating, which is a lot of time, he has been on the couch. We have been doing naptime everyday, which is a dream, but he requires it now. It's amazing how in just a couple weeks, my little Tommy who is usually the craziest of all my kids is now the one laying around all the time. It breaks my heart to watch this STUPID disease wipe him out like this. Wish us luck tomorrow! Thank you all for your constant encouragement, it really helps. Thank you for your prayers, I know they are what is getting Tommy through this tough time as well as our family. My cute mom, grandma and aunts have put Tommy's name in just about all the temples around the country now I think. I know that is such a blessing, THANK YOU ALL!!!
