Another round of Chemo

Brandon just recently finished up his 5th round of chemotherapy. He's handling it as well as any kid can. It's miserable and he hates it, but he's keeping a good attitude about it all. He's doing everything the nurses & doctors are asking of him, he's letting us give him his shot and medicine every day at home. He's also trying to salvage his 8th grade year by doing some schooling online. We're wishing he had an Apple Laptop so he could do his schoolwork from bed, because he doesn't always feel like getting out of bed.

Brandon waiting for chemo treatment.
Not excited to start chemo.
Still waiting...
Ok, here comes the chemo.
and 6 days later, after 5 days of chemotherapy, we left the hospital. This time Brandon wanted to leave in a red wagon. Making the best of a not-so-fun situation.

Hello, I don't know you personally. My name is Autumn and I live in Boise,Idaho. I know about your sitution only because I am a part of the yahoo group flylady.net.She is great friends with a local musician, Eric dodge, who is doing some sort of entertainment performance for your son. All half a million of us flybabies have come to love Eric in the same manner that flylady has and many own his not-yet-discovered beautiful country music. I am so touched by this blog, and was brought to tears by the picture of Brandon looking straight into the camera with the so sad look in his eyes...broke me up! While making a donation to help you with Brandon is not something I am capable of doing I can definately pray for him. What a courageous young man God has created in him. May you be richly blessed! Sincerely,
Autumn Schumacher - Boise, Idaho
