T.G.I.F.

I am happy report that today is our last day of chemo for the round 11. Woo Hoo. I want to thank all of our supporters that wrote to use with advice about the relentless hiccups. Fortunately we were able to get a prescription muscle relaxer and within 30 minutes of William taking his pill, the hiccups stopped!

Tomorrow, if the weather and fog cooperates, there is a possibility that William will go on an airplane ride. One of our kind blog readers, Lynden, has offered to give William a ride in his Piper taildragger Bush plane. As you can imagine, William is super excited about this and because the entire thing depends on the weather, he has been anxiously watching the weather channel all morning. If tomorrow's plane ride does get postponed due to bad weather, we will try to reschedule the trip for the following weekend.                                                                         Sunday is race day - YIPEE!!! There has been so much excitement in our household about this race. All of the conversations between Randell and William seem to be related to gravity, weight, speed and aerodynamics. If you have ever played a card or a board came with William, then you know how absolutely competitive he is and how determined he is to be the best at everything he does. I believe that during the last several months filled with hundreds of board games, we have taught William how to be a humble and gracious loser. I hope that William does well in his race but, if he does not end up being one of the fastest racers, I hope that he remembers that the fun and adventure is in the actual activity itself and not the trophy.

We have been so blessed by the kindness of others. As you know Jeff Gonsalves, author of the Subnorm series, will be donating all of the February profits from his book, Fork in the Road to Apocalypse, to William. Purchases can be made via Amazon.com.

Also,thanks to the kindness and perservearance  of a 17year old young lady named Steph, the Chicago Fire restuarant on J street in Downtown Sacramento will be donating 15% of their profits for one night to William.

I beleive that this will be on February 21st, but I still need to confirm this. I will keep you posted!

Now for some BIG NEWS! GiftToCure is in the process of putting together a grand and regal masquerade ball.  We will have several local celebrities and public political figures attending the event. If all goes as planned, we will raise a lot of awareness about DSRCT and a lot of money for the much needed research and family assistance.  There will be a lot of information about this event in the upcoming weeks!!!

As you know, Grandpa is flying in from NC on Sunday and therefore William is counting down the hours until he gets to goof around with his partner in crime. We will be spending the few days that my dad is with us in the LA area. We have a couple of consult meetings scheduled with DSRCT experienced oncologists and radiologists. Hopefully we will return from LA with good news and a treatment plan that provides hope and a treatment plan....

We ask that everyone please keep their prayers for us focused on save travels, helpful and willing oncologist and healing of all of William's cancer and tumors.

Keep on Keepin' on. Live Strong in God's miracles and the healing in William's body.
