Dr. Rosen came in this morning to check on Gentry and was glad to hear how well Gentry did yesterday. He thinks that we will be able to go home Friday, Saturday at the latest. On Friday Gentry will have another round of chemo injected into his spine. If we stay here then we can have it done under sedation. If we go home before Friday then the spinal will be done at his office with no sedation. Dr. Mo the pediatric cardiologists came by today also and did another echo-sonogram on his heart (the first one was last Tuesday). His heart rate has really been slowing down when he is sleeping so he wanted to check on it. He said his heart is doing really well and he just needs to adjust his medicine a little bit. So we feel like we are close to getting home where we know we will ALL be more comfortable. We will keep everyone posted!

Thanks for the updates - they sure help us know what to pray for and what to trust GOD for. I hope you make your goal of getting home by this weekend. Looks like you have a little champ on your hands - your updates lead us to believe Gentry is already a big winner!

Prayers, prayers and more for all of you.

Hi Karen and Jerry, I am so glad to hear that Gentry's treatment went well. I miss him so very much. I pray that he will continue to do well, and that you all will be able to go home by the weekend. Give him a big kiss and hug for me, and tell him that we all here at Young Scholars misses he alot.

Talked to your mother yesterday. Sounds like he is doing much better! Guess he is a little champ (Just like Mom and Dad!)
