Update on Blake

Pieces from an email...

Blake is doing fine after his second chemotherapy round on Sunday with little or no side effects (Hum – I wonder why? Lot’s of prayer maybe?). But he took an emotional step back today in that a couple of days ago one of his doctors mentioned that he might get to go home earlier than thought but today his primary doctor said no go and that he would need to remain in the hospital at least until the end of the month.

Also today, he got his first lumbar puncture – which means they insert some chemo directly into his spinal cord so that it can take care of any cancer cells that would be hiding there. Blake also got to talk with another patient from Wyoming who is 20 years old and is about five weeks ahead of Blake in his treatment.

We hope to meet with the doctor on Friday to get a clearer picture of the road ahead. Pray that we get some good news as to prognosis and treatment.

If you have a brief moment, please just whisper a breath of prayer for Blake.
