Another 5-day Chemo stay

I told you all I'd update sooner than the last time ; ).

Garrett is on his last full day of this 5-day chemo treatment. He is pretty sleepy today but enjoyed having sister megan stay with him friday night. During this hospital stay Garrett has sat in a chair for about an hour (amazing!), taken a real shower and visited with mom, grandma, aunt joan and uncle paul, cousin maria and sisters megan and lindsy. He has a good roommate who... for the first time... is a little better off than Garrett. This boy only has one hospital stay and two out-patient treatments and he's done! It's a little different since Garrett is usually the cancer patient who is doing the best out of the two roommates. We thank the Lord that this boy only has to go through a few treatments and got to graduate with his class and is now on to UW : ). We continue to pray that Garrett stays on schedule and continues to make great improvements.

This weekend is a difficult one for Garrett because every 4th of July he, along with the rest of the family, heads out to our cabin on Hood Canal to watch the beautiful fireworks. Garrett will not be able to attend this year, but we pray that he is feeling well enough that he can go to Grandma's on sunday night to watch the show from her deck : ). Mom and Megan get to spend the night at the cabin tonight... we are thankful that they get a day or two to relax.

Thank you again for being such great supporters for Garrett... this process is a long one and we are grateful for the ones who continue to pray and think of Garrett. He is on week 17 of 30 and cannot wait to get this all over with.

Stay posted for our next update on Garrett! Happy 4th of July and BE SAFE!
