Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? My family sure did....we didn't have to spend it in the Pokie! We had lots of yummy food, I ran all over the place and I got to see George some more too.
We went back to the Pokie on Friday to get checked in and get ready for what was on the schedule for today. At around 2:40 a nurse (that I don't wanna see again since she decided to poke me) came in to start the process of giving me my Asparaginase Shot.
*****To all of you who decide to watch the next two video posts below please be prepared before you watch them. The video posts are raw and emotional...they are not edited to make them easier to watch. I did my best to give you all everything that Noah went through today. Stacie******
This video here is my nurse giving me some numbing cream. It numbs the top layers of my skin. Then I have to have an ice pack on it for about five minutes.
Next came "Buzzy". I don't like buzzy....not one bit! The nurse said that Buzzy would help my muscle expand and confuse the nerves before I get my Asparaginase Shot.
At least after three hours and a nice long nap I was told it was time for us to all say "So long Pokie"! Just in time to not have to eat the hospital food.
And then, I was outside and heading to one car to head home. I like riding home in Da dah's truck but it sure is nice to have my whole family in the car with me!
Well, that's all I have for right now. I have to do another one of those nasty shots soon. I wonder if I told my Daddy to run fast, fast he could outrun that pesky nurse with that needle?!
Thank you all for continuing to pray for me and my family.
Love,
Noah

I only know you all from Stacie's reports. I have a special needs son who is 13. We are quite familiar with the hospital setting that we all wish we had never knew. I have smiled, cried, and prayed along with the reports and videos of Noah's progress. Today's was touching to me because he was fighting. With my son, I always feel a little tinge of comfort along with my anguish for his pain because fighting means he is still my little warrior. More than a few times my son would lay silently in the hospital and let the staff do their work. Those are the times we were worried. I appreciate the fight in our children and that they have the energy to be angry (sometimes afraid). Blessings and continued prayers for Noah's progress and for God's will in his and your lives. Keep fighting little warrior! -Mindi
Hi Pumpkin,
I just watch the video of you getting your first of two L-Asparaginase shots. I must say it yanked at my heart string whereas I could feel your pain. I will continue to tell you how proud we all are of you for being such a warrior. I could even see Jesus sitting with your daddy to help comfort you, along with your mommy and Matthew. Stacie did a good job capturing the moment.
Just think you are almost done with everything. I hope I can be half as strong as you when it is my turn to deal with one of life challenges. You will always be my hero.
May God continue to shine his light on you, daddy, mommy and baby Matthew. May the victory be yours in this battle you are fighting and may the glory be to God.
How much does Grammy love you???? Stretch those arms way out there, plus more. Sending, as always, hugs and kisses your way. Reach out and catch them then share with Matthew, okay.
Love Grammy and Popa
