It's Friday!

It’s Friday, and I think it is time for an update! Aubriana is out of school this coming Tuesday and I am very excited that it’s almost summertime! Last weekend we had some very successful fundraisers (volleyball tournament with silent auction, and garage sale). Thank you to everyone who donated!
Titus’ treatments are going well as he’s entered into his Interim Maintenance #1 portion of his treatment plan. He receives IV Vincristine and IV Methotrexate every @10 days for two months (a total of 5 treatments). He will also receive LP Methotrexate on his 4th treatment day along with the two IV chemo’s. So far the side effects have been limited to some nausea and a decreased appetite. The IV Methotrexate causes nausea/vomiting and mouth sores, and the Vincristine causes limb weakness; each med lowers his blood counts somewhat as well. Each treatment, the IV Methotrexate dose is increased, so we ask for continued prayer that the side effects would stay minor.
Aubri is doing well since her surgery and will hopefully get a full release from her doctor this coming Wednesday. Titus’ next treatment is scheduled for a week from today. Everything with baby Aurora couldn’t be going any smoother right now, thank the Lord!
Thank you to everyone for their continued prayers and support!
