We are all gearing up for the scan tomorrow.  Holding our breath,crossing our fingers and toes!!! (We really hold our breath when we look at this picture up close seeing all the FLAMING HOT CHEETOS and residue in Mr. Blue Eyes Teeth from gorging on them.)  Mr. Blue Eyes comments that "he does not want to do it and the part of that that he does not want to do is the whole thing.  I just wish they could just tell without it."  I wish they could to but until then 
Mr.Blue Eyes is going Radioactive
tomorrow.

Notes from Mom.  Tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for that tells us what kind of work the chemo has done.  The odds are good so we are hope full.   I tend to be of the mind set that if it is not gone we will fight harder and longer.  We know more about what it means to go through treatment. I am not afraid anymore to fight.  I hope with all my heart he will not have to do this again however  I will do anything for my Mr. Blue Eyes.   This experience has changed me.  Mostly for the better though I have never been through anything harder.  I will advocate for children's cancers and never forget how this experience has touched our hearts so closely. 
 I wrote in one of the first post and later found it quoted in a talk.  I read it over and over again.: 
Orson F. Whitney said: “No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. … All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable. … It is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire.”⁵

Recently a nine-year-old boy was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. The doctor explained the diagnosis and the treatment, which included months of chemotherapy and major surgery. He said it would be a very difficult time for the boy and his family but then added, “People ask me, ‘Will I be the same after this is over?’ I tell them, ‘No, you won’t be the same. You will be so much stronger. You will be awesome!’”

Mr. Blue Eyes will be stronger,  stronger in spirit and as his body recovers that will be stronger too. God is forever my strength, prayer continues to be my rock.  So glad God has this in his hands.  We trust that Mr.Blue Eyes will live the life God intended.
