Silas Doing Well!!

We are praising the Lord to be able to give you such a wonderful update on Silas today. He has just gone through his second round of chemotherapy and is doing very well. He is doing better right now than he has done since January, which is prior to his diagnosis. He is not experiencing many of the side effects that they were sure for him to encounter. Ms. Karen has been administering a regimen of natural supplements to Silas to try and counteract the side effects and they are working. He is walking and talking like he hasn't done in months. After his first round of chemotherapy he could not walk when returning home, but he is now. He has been playing, laughing and having fun like he hasn't done in a long time. Before he was diagnosed he had gotten to a point of not wanting anything to do with anyone or even wanting anyone picking him up. We are sure due to his pain level. He has now returned to a fun loving little boy! Willingly giving out hugs and loves. We can't thank and praise the Lord enough for his wonderful grace and mercy at this time.

Ms. Karen, Paige and Silas are currently staying at the Ronald McDonald house just blocks from the hospital. They check in daily at the hospital for them to do the necessary tests on his blood counts, etc. If all continues well they will be able to come home for another period of time soon until his future treatments are necessary. We know that things can change rapidly and there is no telling what tomorrow may hold, but we thank you all for your continued prayers and support. The Lord has shown he is able and we are thankful.
