Chemo then Christmas!

From Beth:

Ethan is getting back into life a little bit each day. He is seeing improvement in his vision, but still gets frustrated with it. We had a check up on Friday Dec.13th. Eye doctor can still see swelling , but also sees improvement.

We also saw Dr. Velez, our oncologist. We are picking up chemo where we left off before the surgery. This means we start tomorrow (Wednesday). We have four more rounds to go. We will be admitted to hospital to do chemo for 3 to 4 days and be home for the weekend. It is our hope that Ethan will be feeling better by Christmas and to be able to enjoy it!:)  He has been looking forward to Christmas for months!!

(Ethan has tried to talk Drew and I into putting lights up on the house for a couple of years now. We have not been motivated to do this in the past, but was thinking if anyone who knows Ethan and would like to surprise him with lights when he comes home from hospital just give me a call 985-377-4452????)

Ethan and I have started up on some school. I read everything to Ethan and then he dictates to me what he wants for answers. This has been a challenge, but good for him too! :) Moving forward with life is a challenge when your body is still very tired, and the eyes are not doing what you want them to.

We have been blessed with our sweet neighbor, who has been making meals for us for over a week now. It is sometimes very overwhelming the kindness of so many of you giving and supporting Ethan and his family through this journey.

We are truly a blessed family for many friends and family that walk this journey with us!! Thank You!
