Asparginase

Hi Everybody,


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

God All Around

Hi Everyone,


Hope you all had a nice weekend!  We had a few different changes here.  So many people turned up to help my Mommy and Daddy with the move.  From cleaning the new house to packing and moving all of our stuff into it, to Grammy staying all day and playing with Matthew and me.  It wouldn't have happened without all of you pitching in!  I'm excited to go to my new house when I'm able to escape the Pokie.


I keep hearing all the great things that my new puppy is learning & that he's really, really smart.  I'm so excited that I was given George and I can't wait to snuggle him!  Have I told you guys the story of George?  My friend Stacie has a friend who breeds Goldendoodles.  They originally though George was sold to someone else but then things happened and they couldn't buy George.  So Stacie talked to MG to see if my getting George was an option.  And what do you know....it was!  Do you all remember when I asked you to pray for my friend Matt who passed away from his cancer fight?  Do you also remember how I said we named George after Matt by using Matt's middle name?  Well here's a God thing.  Matt's Daddy's name is Darryl.  Guess what George's name was before we renamed him?  Darryl!  God is all around.....even is a black fuzzy puppy.


As for me, my ACN bottomed out to zero.  I just have to remember that we don't want the Goose Egg to stay around so my ACN's can climb.  Also, I said goodbye to the Broviac and I now have a PICC Line.  I know a lot of you probably don't know what that is so this link might help. http://picclinenursing.com/picc_why.html.  I also had a platelet and hemoglobin transfusion.


As for other prayer requests for us, we're all under the weather now.  Please pray that my family gets to feeling better very soon.


Love,


Noah
