Heath has been doing ok lately but has had some problems since his last chemo. His blood counts were so bad that he had two different days where he had to get blood and platelet transfusions. He was very weak for several days and didn't have much energy to do anything. He is also having severe pains in his right foot. The doctor says that it is probably caused by inflammation from his radiation treatments but we are not completely sure what is causing the pain. They want to start him back on pain meds to try and get the pain under control. He is still getting daily Proton radiation treatments. He may start his next round of chemo on Friday or Saturday. Please continue to pray for healing and strength for Heath.
We found out that Dave and Patty's grandson Jonah was diagnose with leukemia. Jonah is 11 years old. Heath knows Jonah from when Heath worked at Kings Kids. Jonah already had surgery to put in a port and to do a spinal tap. He started chemo treatments which will continue for at least two years. Please pray for Jonah's family, Jonah's doctors and specifically for Jonah as he goes through his treatments.
