Day 8 of 1,278
Carson continues to eat everything in sight. And when when he wants something that's not in sight, he demands it be brought to him immediately. He either has Czar-like tendencies (like his father) or it's the steroids. I think it's most likely the latter, but it may be a little of both.
His demeanor is not as pleasant as his usual self. Our "vacation" at the "hotel" is wearing thin and he is ready for a change in scenery. Not quite yet, buddy.
Carson has a big day tomorrow. At 10 in the morning the doctors will collect samples of bone marrow and spinal fluid. Thankfully he will be sedated for these procedures. Once that is done with he will undergo a second round of IV chemotherapy.
So...please keep Carson in your prayers. We are hoping the results show no leukemia in his spinal fluid (like last time) and a marked reduction or elimination of leukemia in his bone marrow. In other words, I'm praying for a big time leukemia butt kicking!
Go Carson!!
Paul

Praying for some big progress in the fight! Thinking about F too, I hope she has fun in TX! She is a blessing indeed. We just dropped off the 3 "big kids" at Kanakuk...Connor was so nervous for Josh, he walked around with him for an hour to make sure he knew where everything was. I have always known a sibling is the best gift to give our kids! So thankful for them much love, Vanessa
ReplyDeleteGlad you found the switch...
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Carson! Stay strong and kick those nasties out of your system. I'll be thinking about you on Monday. -Karina
I miss being there in the hospital with Carosn, but I really like Texas. I set an alarm in the morning to know when its time to pray for Mr. Hang in there bro! F

Hello Paul and Jennifer.When Gail sent the blog page for Carson it was a real surprise, as it has been for you all. Like everyone has said, you will for sure be lifted up daily..all of you. It affects so many along the way. Carson sounds like a real fighter and I know that God has his hand over him. You all are loved by so many from so many different places. Just lots of love and prayers. will continue to read the blog and keep up. Hope that today was a good day with the results and procedures. Much love from Texas! Carter and Mileta
ReplyDeleteHello King family,
ReplyDeleteMy mother, Carla Treadwell (who was Carson's Sunday school teacher) shared your blog with me. You are all so courageous - especially Carson. What a trooper! I have an 18-month old son and can't imagine how hard this must be for all of you. It was difficult for me to read the early blog postings but your family's determination to take this head on so quickly and with such humor and love for Carson has been an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experience (you are all gifted writers). We will continue to pray each day for Carson and your family. Know that you are not alone in this journey. Love and positive wishes from Kelly, Zeus and baby Phoenix in Oakland, CA
