Febuary 9th

Well we are in the hospital for the start of Seth's 3rd chemo session. Seth will be hospitalized till Wednesday. Pray that his body will handle this dose of chemo well. His 12th birthday is this Sunday and he does not want to be sick for it. This birthday will be a special one because without all of these treatments he would not have been here to celebrate turning 12. Lately Seth has realized that he is able to do a little more then he thought he could. He and I rode bike a little and when we got home Seth had a smile on his face that reached ear to ear. He might not be able to run this summer but he will be able to ride bike short distances and that realization meant the world to him. He also had fun sledding with his cousins. But Seth found out that rollerskating is going to have to wait till after chemo. Seth was determined to try rollerskating at our church skating party but due to his "foot drop" fell over 20 times in a 15 minute period. Even though Seth was extremely disappointed he still came home with a smile. I thought he might be physically weak but his "heart" is very strong. Continue to pray for health for our entire family so far no one has gotten sick this winter.
