Today has been a rough day. Kennedy fell asleep last night around 6:00 and woke up a little after 8:00 this morning feeling pretty yucky. She ended up throwing up a few times and has been sleeping most of the day. She has no fever at all, but I called oncology anyway just to see what they wanted us to do. They called her in some Zofran which has seemed to stop the throwing up, but she's still really out of it. She's taken a few sips of water and that's about it. If she's not better by morning I'll take her into the clinic. We don't need her getting dehydrated. I just wish I knew what was going on. Seems like it wouldn't be from the chemo this far out since she isn't ever sick with it, but if it were a virus or infection, it seems like she would have a fever.

Kass and Kam are being troopers. We have been telling them for 2 days now that we are going to go to the movies and yesterday Keeghan had a horrible day and now Kennedy today. Kassidy said, "It's ok, I know Kennedy doesn't feel well." And fortunately Kameron seems to follow suit. Hopefully we'll be able to get to that movie soon.

Keeghan has an appointment with the urologist at Vandy tomorrow at 8:45 to talk about his hyposadius. He's seeing Kennedy's urologist, Dr. Brock, so at least we already know we like him!

Cody Myers' body seems to be wearing out on him. My heart just breaks for his family with every update. Please continue to keep him in your prayers along with his parents, Jamie and Angela, and his baby brother, Ben. Pray that Cody will remain comfortable and out of pain. Pray for Jamie and Angela as they prepare for the next phase of this journey. It's all just so unfair.

Frank is doing fine now. He's totally healed and hopefully will never get staph again!! Thanks for asking about him.

I hope Kenn is feeling better soon. It has been a blessing that she hasn't been sick from the chemo, so I hope it stays that way! I think you and Frank need a date night, however hard and impossible that may be with the 4 kiddos! I wish we lived closer so we could help!

"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance."

Sorry Kennedy is sick, that sucks. I guess this can be expected from time to time though, which also sucks. I've been following Cody and Charlie's web pages, and saw that Cody is just about at the end, and also read that one of their little friends got her angel wings yesterday. Makes us all realize how fortunate we really are. Hope Kennedy feels better soon, she's a trooper!!!

Well we have a plan to go out on a "date" with Keeghan of course because he needs to eat. LOL It all depends on how Kennedy's doing now though.

Yeah poor Rayley's family . She just turned 1 less than a month ago. It's so sad. Cancer SUCKS!!!
