Trent’s Trek

Dr. Rubin says Trenton is doing just fine…we are going to start patching his left eye again - to see if this will bring his right one back. His right eye could be crossing in more because we stopped patching and tried to get Trenton to wear his prismed glasses instead. So he will not be wearing his glasses - and he will be wearing his patch for up to an hour daily. Also, his blood counts were back up this time - his platlets went up from 86 to 275 (YEAH!!). Tomorrow is Trenton’s Christmas Party at Gingerbread School and then he is off until January 4th. Ariana had her Christmas Show yesterday - and her last day is the 20th. We will leave for Wisconsin Dells on the 21st where we will be meeting Joyce, Robbie, Ashley and Andy Black for the first time face to face (we email and talk on the phone)!! We are all looking forward to seeing them - and enjoying the indoor waterpark at the Great Wolf Lodge!!

I am busy getting all of Trenton’s physician referrals renewed - NorthPointe Pediatrics, Dr. Vicente, and Dawn @ St. Anthony Health Network have all been so great about getting anything we needed for Trenton’s treatments and healthcare. Although there is so much to keep organized, everything has gone very smoothly due to the work of our healthcare providers. The University of Chicago has been so helpful to us also: Oncology - Dr. Rubin, Dr. Nachman, Nurse Kelly, Nurse Mary, Nurse Marie (and others); Radiology - Dr. Connell, Nurse Sue, Indra, Angie (and others); Anesthesia - Gwen, Eileen (and others); Ophthamology - Dr. Greenwald, Art (and others); Childlife - Jen; Social Work - Sara….are just some of the amazing medical staff that has touch our lives with their knowledge and eagerness to help children & their families. I pray that God blesses their lives in very special ways!!!

Thank goodness gas prices have come down alittle bit (I filled up at BP for $2.02/gal last week)!! I know this winter is going to be really hard on the pocketbook as far as heating bills….all of us will have to keep our thermostats down!! Stay warm everyone!!!
