Good evening. Sorry for the needed security, again. Maybe it won't be needed for too long........

David had a pretty ok day today. The school he was doing 'independent study' through really frustrated me this year. They are supposed to send his work to him as he finishes work. They basically send a quarter at a time. Well, there has been many weeks this year when he has waited for the new work to be sent to him. To make a long story short, he is still doing school. He has about 5 more weeks. Poor child. As if he hasn't been through enough. The final two years of High School he will be going to Insight School of Nevada. It is an on-line public school, so it is FREE!! Yay! I can't afford to keep him in the private school he was in before. *sigh* Just another sacrifice we have to make. They are aware of his special needs; like he can't do P.E.; and they will work with us to make sure he gets all his credits to graduate. Right now his PT is counting as P.E., and I am sure it will continue to do so. So he has been doing school these days. Oh well. Otherwise he is doing ok. He is so funny. No matter what, he always says he is 'fine.' I have to drag it out of him if I think he isn't fine. Even after all his surgeries, he always said he was fine. We knew better. He just isn't a complainer. When a doctor would come in and ask him how he feels, he always said fine; even when he was vomiting!! He is a nut!! But he is such a great kid! Here I go bragging on him again~~~I am so proud to be his mom. Please continue to pray that he gets his school done soon. He just wants to be done!!! Can't say that I blame him. All his friends are out of school, and he isn't. Poor kid.

Thank you for all the support you are giving me. I really appreciate it. And you are all right. I will not allow those people to bother me. I know I don't always say what I mean, and I am sorry when things I say don't come out right. I just request that you all remember the stress and heartache I am going through, and try to 'read between the lines' and realize I am not trying to offend or hurt anyone. Thank you for your encouragement.

Thank you for your love, encouragement, and prayers. Thank you for visiting. Thank you for caring about and loving David. Thank you for accepting me, 'warts and all.' Have a good night. Sleep tight. God bless you all. We love you. {{HUGS}}

During their lengthy treatments, the children are often rendered unable to eat (throwing up/diarrhea, stomach/abdominal pains, mouth/throat/intestinal sores), “poked” scores of times (or having to have tubes &/or "ports" surgically put in) & are literally crying out to God &/or their mommies & daddies who sit helplessly by, watching the cancer &/or treatments which are meant to save them wreak havoc on the small bodies of their dearest children -- the least of which is hair loss.
