Well, yesterday Gentry was pretty worn out from all his activities on Sat. He is starting to rebel against taking his oral medications. Luckily the nurses here have started mixing the different meds with cherry syrup. That is helping some. His appetite is back and every morning he has been chowing down on bacon, his weight is up a little more than half a pound from last Sunday which is a good thing. He had some visitors in the morning but slept through most of the afternoon visitors. 
Today he woke up happy and ready to play. Medicine went down pretty smooth and then we were able to go to the play room they have here. He is walking really well and had a great time checking out all the toys. He sure was ticked when we had to come back to the room to get his antibiotic through his central line. But we watched some of the Cars movie and he fell asleep pretty quick. This afternoon we spent more time in the play room, it's so nice to be outside of this room. 
Tomorrow we have a round of chemo that is an injection in his leg. It sounds like the side effects can be really severe and happen quickly. He has to be monitored very closely afterwards. As soon as it's done I will post and let everyone know how it went. Please keep praying. Everyone seemed to love the pictures so I took some more today and will get them posted soon.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We continue to pray that God puts his hands over you. If there is anything you need at all (even chocolate milk), please don't hesitate to ask.

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
