The start of a long journey

Today was the hardest day of my life. Sitting in the Dr's office and listing to him give us the diagnosis was/is extremely surreal... I keep thinking that I am going to wake up tomorrow morning and find that this has all been a bad dream.

My mom arrived today and together the two of us will be figuring out the next course of action. Although the Dr is great! We are considering the possibility of moving him to St. Judes or Shriners merely because they specialize in pediatric oncology. I am yet to find a Dr. that has experience with this particular rare C.

Please keep the prayers coming. I know that God is listening and I know that he works miracles! My family has seen soo many blessings and eperienced blessing on many levels, I just keep praying that my prayers are answered too.

William will be starting his Chemo in the next couple of minutes. He will be receiving three kinds:

Cyclophosphamide
Doxorubicin
Vincristine

He will also be receiving doses of Steriod.

Due to the side affect of all three chemo treatments, William will be losing his hair. He has been begging us for months to have a mohawk, and considering that he will be losing his hair, his dad and I have agreed to finally give him one tomorrow :).
