Hi Eileen,

Thanks for the update. Praise God for the good news. Praying that God gives Jack strength for a quick recovery, and ability to cope with the chemo. Also that this trial will bring him closer to our Lord and TJ.

EKnight:
Jack was discharged from the hospital on Monday August 10th, one week after the surgery.  He was put on a low fat diet of five grams of fat per day.  However, his appetite was low and he was unable to even drink until finally he couldn't keep fluids down and we had to go back to the hospital on Thursday August 13th.  He remained in the hospital till this past Monday.  They were hydrating him and did a CT scan of his intestines.  They thought that there might have been a kink which would require them to open him up again and fix it.  Thankfully, that was not the problem. 

Jack is finding it extremely difficult to eat any food anymore.  It's been about three and half weeks since he has eaten a substantial amount of food and he is extremely weak.  He can barely walk a few feet without getting winded and causing his heart to race.

As you know, his chemo treatments were interrupted by this untimely surgery.  He is expected to receive two more cycles of chemo and he has an appointment with the oncologist tomorrow.  I am worried that they will want to begin the chemo again within a week.  Jack has gone from 127 pounds in May down to 105 pounds today.  He lost five pounds between last Thursday and this Monday.  I don't think he can endure the chemo any time soon but I am afraid to hold off on it because the cure rate of 90% is based on a strict regimen of 4 chemo cycles ( on week of chemo two weeks off=a cycle).  This "cycle" has already been delayed three times.

I know all is of God but I can't help but worry what God's plan is for my son with all of these unexpected delays and surgery.  I'm afraid.  It's not that I don't trust God, I do, but that doesn't make it any easier to watch Jack suffer and worry about his well-being.  Honestly, I am getting a little p'd off at God for putting Jack through all of this.  A perfectly healthy kid now looks and feels so sick all the time. 

So we could still use the prayers as apparently it's not over until God says so.  I need more strength emotionally and Jack just needs strength overall.

Thanks again for listening.

Eileen
