It's Not Fair!

"It's not fair Mommy, It's not fair!!!"  Those were Connor's words tonight as we gave him his first dose of chemotherapy.

James and I both replied, "No honey, it's not fair.  It's not fair at all."

No child should ever have to take chemotherapy.  We tried not to scare him too much, but it's a little hard when you're not supposed to touch or breath the medicine you want him to swallow.  There's something very wrong about the whole thing.  We tried to let him have some control over it.  By saying which vial he wanted to use to take it with.  In a world where you feel like you are losing control over everything, it's very important to let him have control over the little things.

Poor baby took his chemo like an old pro, laid down and fell asleep.

Tonight we pray he will sleep well with no nausea.  Tomorrow morning will be the first test to see how his body will handle it.

Today he had a good day at school and tomorrow he will be able to rest as the chemo makes its way into his system for the first time.

We believe he's going to do better than the other children who have taken this drug and he will continue to amaze everyone.

God Bless,

James, Brandy, Mackenzie & Connor
