Another Update

It seems that each treatment gets a little bit harder on Troy. He is finally dealing with severe mouth sores, weakness, fatigue and soreness and just can't seem to get past this cough he has. He gave me a bit of a scare this past Saturday when he became very dehydrated. We were having our pictures taken at St. Olaf for our church directory when he became very weak and pale and started shivering to the point he couldn't get warm. I quickly took him home and he jumped in a very warm bath and I started giving him good old Gatorade and he came out of it. Thank God!

On another happier note, we went to Tonya's house for dinner on Sunday, November 16th and were pleased to see all of her kids there as well. Troy's hair was starting to grow back in a tiny bit however; due to the continued chemotherapy, it was growing back very patchy. He asked his sister Tiffiny to bring her hair trimmers so she could just shave it off. After he was finished, Kolton needed his hair cut as well and asked if he could get his hair cut like unkle Troy's so, he had his head shaved as well. Next was Kurtis who had his head shaved and finally, unkle Tim! Kevin had his head shaved the week before. Needless to say, it brough tears to our eyes to see Tonya's family filled with such love for Troy that they would shave their heads for him. Below is the end result:




What a handsome group of men!!
