Unless you are Granny of course!<br />
<br />
He has to be bribed to smile in most photos, that I take with him anyway. (Amber was like this as a little one too:) And it is always my biggest goal to get him to love on me! Unfortunately, on most days it goes a little like this.......<br />

I was a lucky Auntie and got to spend the day with Reiss in clinic... When I showed up, he of course acted like he really wasn't that excited about my being there... But he was happy to share his cheese in a can and crackers with me and jerky too.... Although he was insistent, "Don't eat all the jerky, because we need to eat it too", apparently I was being a pig!<br />

When the nurses came in to give Reiss his shot (Chemo in his quad) I walked away, partially because it breaks my heart to see his little eyes swell with tears, but also to give the nurses space... Reiss started crying at the anticipation of the shot.... But as they gave hime the shot, he cried only for a brief second, and then I heard his sweet little voice say, "where did Micah go?" It melted my heart, I responded and let him know that I was still there... I went and kneeled in from of him, Mommy was rubbing his leg with ice and he had huge alligator tears still on his cheeks... He said, "Where did you go? I responded by telling him I did't like to see him get shots because it makes me sad.... and he said "but you can watch me get my shot, you can watch it."He really did want me there!<br />
<br />
We played trucks, and derby and ate more cheese and crackers... When I got up to go to the bathroom, I again heard his little voice asking where I went... I know that this seems so silly, but this little man with a big heart, melted mine today... It really reminded me about the importance of pure, true, real unconditional LOVE.<br />
<br />
This was not all that today reminded me of.... But I left the hospital with overwhelming gratitude for the people I have in my life. I am surrounded by strength, I am surrounded by people to inspire me, and I am part of the most incredible circle of Love. Amber is a viking woman, I always am so impressed by her strength, I am honored to have a sister like her. My parents are incredible, my brothers are pure joy and my sister Erin is compassionate and driven!<br />
<br />
This day, Reiss really touched my heart, but I gained a much needed reminder of how lucky I am to be loved, to be part of the family I am, and even though sometimes I might not realize, someone might need me, just to be there, like little Reiss wanted today! ....<br />

<br />
This is the last week of Delayed Intensification!! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-size: large;">YAHOOOO!!! </span> Reiss had his scheduled appointment yesterday. He got chemo and a PEG shot. He even got to see cute little Presley! Dr. Lemons gave them some <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">GREAT NEWS!</span> </span>He will finish out this week, coming to PCMC on Wednesday and Friday for his last two shots. Then, he gets a week off! On October 28th, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Reiss will start maintenance!!!</span> Maintenance is the last phase in his treatment protocol. It begins with an LP (Lumbar Puncture) and vincristine (chemo) in his port. He will then receive chemo (6mp) <b style="text-decoration: underline;">everyday</b> at home, and an additional chemo pill (oral methotrexate) on Thursdays. The chemo 6MP is a little tricky because he can't eat for 2 hours before, and 1 hour after, he takes the pill. So there is a 3 hour window that he can't eat. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><u>He will continue this daily chemo for the remainder of his treatment... about 2.5 years.</u></span> It sounds daunting, but it is a relief to be at this phase. He will only have to go to PCMC once a month for chemo in his port, and every 3 months for lumbar punctures. If all goes well! Of course, if there are fevers or sickness he will have to go to PCMC. Let's pray there are very few of those! The next 2.5 years will have it's own set of challenges, but the Timothy family is happy to be at this point in treatment. It means they are one day closer to the finish line.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Amber and Kenny can't thank you enough for all the love and support you have continually shown them. For all the food, meals, money, prayers, childcare, and all the other genuine acts of service on their behalf. They have the best friends and family and are so grateful for all of you!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-size: large;">THANK YOU!</span></div>

Weeks 1-3Can we all agree that this phase, delayed intensification, SUCKS!!! It was rough for little Presley, and it has been so rough on little Reiss, as well. DI consists of 2 parts. He is in the 2nd part of this phase.<br />
<br />
Week 1- Had to have a LP (Lumbar Puncture). He woke up from anesthesia a little croupy. They made him stay the night so they could monitor him. <br />
<br />
Week 2- He was supposed to have another LP, but because we was a little croupy the previous week they decided to wait and make it up later. He had home health Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.<br />
<br />
Week 3- On Monday, Oct. 7, he had to start his PEG shots again, and if you remember, this means trips to Primary Children's every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for two weeks. This is a dreaded two weeks. Too much driving, too many shots, too many trips to clinic. :( As if that isn't hard enough, Reiss spiked a fever after his clinic visit on Wednesday night. Besides his counts being super low, he seemed fine earlier when he was at his appointment. Shortly after Amber got back home, and started getting the kids to bed, she realized he was warm. A fever of 101 sent him straight to the hospital in Price. Price Hospital isn't use to these cancer kids and their low numbers. They ended up taking him back to PCMC by ambulance that night. It was a very long night and they didn't get into a room until about 7am.<br />

He slept through it!<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Reiss spent the rest of the week in the hospital. There were a few bumps during his stay. Thursday night, while at PCMC, his port started hurting. He had somehow dislodged the needle. They had to de-access and re-access his port. On the third time they were able to get it to work. Friday night, Amber snuck away from the hospital to take Amiah and Tayger to a play. Granny came to stay with Reiss.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXy9fTHz80Ephea5vnquK9_NJOjZs8wxqOPYfhpN4g3BupG6EyqIt8FDnKdJsYzz_Lj_IrzYGiZVl92oTZyUBq-PUrPfYZiaDCoOzWSSSgDyEGg70vOBL1-eVxvud4hbduwBOXY7-mQdKk/s1600/IMG_3597.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXy9fTHz80Ephea5vnquK9_NJOjZs8wxqOPYfhpN4g3BupG6EyqIt8FDnKdJsYzz_Lj_IrzYGiZVl92oTZyUBq-PUrPfYZiaDCoOzWSSSgDyEGg70vOBL1-eVxvud4hbduwBOXY7-mQdKk/s640/IMG_3597.JPG" width="473" /></a><br /><br /> At about 11 pm, Reiss woke up and was hysterical and wanted his mom.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">On Saturday they were supposed to be discharged around 3:00 after his last dose of antibiotic. Amber requested them to get the order into the home health med place so their bulbs of IV antibiotic would be ready. Long story short, they forgot and the meds didn't arrive until much later. So they didn't end up leaving PCMC until later that evening. They went to Heber and stayed their for the night. During his last antibiotic that night, Amber couldn't get the saline to push through his port. The antibiotic went fine, but she wasn't able to flush it. Another call into PCMC. They told her to cap it and then try in the morning. If it wouldn't work she would need to take him back in. The next morning (Sunday), she tried to flush it and it still wouldn't go. So back down to SLC they went to try and figure it out. Again they had to de-access and re-access 3 times to finally get it working!

I try really hard, but it's just not the same as if I was there. If you read </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.hopeforpresley.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Presley's</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> blog, this post will be familiar. Thank you Alysa for letting me use your post to share about the SLC cure search walk. I wish SO BADLY that I could have been there to wear my Team Presley and Reiss t-shirt. I would have worn it so proudly for those sweet babies of mine. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What an incredible day Saturday was! My heart is still full. The air was filled with love, support and honor for our brave kids. I say "our" because once you become a cancer mom you are not just worried about your child surviving but each and every one of those cancer cuties! When the doctors first told us that Presley had cancer we didn't know if Presley would survive we were devastated and heart broken. After finding out the type of cancer she has and getting the results from the bone marrow aspirate they told us that Presley had a 95% cure rate, that number has become very important. We hold onto that number and it gives us hope that we will win this battle. Not all children are given that same number and far too many kids are relapsing. I will stand up and fight for them, these kids can't fight alone. Something that only a cancer mom or someone who has battled with it would understand. I don't want just Presley to survive, but I want all children to survive and live a full and happy life. Today during the walk Presley was given a champion medal in her fight against cancer.</span></div>

I also know too many kids who have lost this battle. As a parent I have felt and feared the reality of losing my own child. It was very hard to hold back the tears as I saw those angel balloons floating to heaven. We love angles!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thank you so much for all that donated and came out to walk with Team Presley and Team Reiss with your support we raised over $106,000. I am so happy and proud to think we were the number one city raising the most money in over 10 years. We are $106,000 closer to a cure. 100% of proceeds raised at this walk will go to help find a cure for our cancer cuties. CureSearch also funds the children's oncology group who Presley is currently doing a clinical trial for. It makes me happy to be a part of that trial so that we can find a better treatment plan for the future kids who will battle this awful disease. I am sure you have heard me talk about the lack of funding and attention that childhood cancer gets. Today we all made a difference!</span></div>

Reiss is doing SO much better! On Monday he started feeling better, and ACTING better. He was a grumpy boy there for a while! His ANC was still very low at 100- so he didn't have to go to clinic for chemo. He will continue to be on an antibiotic (given through his port every 8 hours) until his ANC is up to 500. They will check it multiple times throughout the week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday, we were all SHOCKED to learn that his ANC jumped up to 812 in just three days! Hooray!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This means he will get to go off that darn antibiotic! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Funny little story Amber told me. She said that although they shaved his head last week, the little buzzed hairs had started to fall out.... leaving bald patches all over. Just like a baby, he rubbed a bald spot in the back of his head from where he lays. He would grab little clumps of hair and just pull them out. One day they got out the duct tape and started rubbing it all over his head to get some of the hairs out. He thought it was so funny! He finally got to take a bath last night and Amber finished all the little hairs off with a razor. His little head is is smooth and soft. Sweet little guy. I love him!<br /><br /></div>

He is doing so much better...all is well! Hooray! His oxygen is stable, his counts are low, but fine, and he will continue on an antibiotic (through his port) at home. Thank you so much for the sincere prayers and concern.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just want to note that the docs have been amazing (as always). They told my mom they have never seen a child so content and comfortable with grandma at the hospital. It's very apparent Reiss and Granny are as thick as thieves. :) I think she deserves the gold medal for "Best Granny Award"! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They also commended Amber and Kenny for taking some time for themselves. It is SO hard for them to do this, but also so necessary. Although it started out rough, the docs reassured them that Reiss was okay, and encouraged them to stay in FL. Now that he is headed home, they are able to relax a little more! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

It was quite the run around, going from taking the life flight helicopter, an ambulance, a different helicopter, and finally a small plane. I guess the helicopters were needed for other patients. So Reiss and Granny flew to SLC in a plane. My mom said she was just praying the whole time (she hates flying and gets very motion sick!)! Reiss was asking for "sweet and sour rice and water"! He did good on the trip. When he arrived at PCMC, he was smiling and laughing. Happy to see Papu and Auntie M, who were there waiting for their arrival. The docs had given him some morphine before they left Price, and that really seemed to perk him up. My mom said the flight crew was incredible, and wonderful with Reiss.<br />
<br />
A few details to note/clarify:<br />
He DID NOT get taken to the PICU. He is on the 4th floor, which is where he usually stays. Great news!<br />
His fever seems to have subsided.<br />
He did have a restless night. He was hungry, and uncomfortable.<br />
They are trying to get his pain under control... he needs oxycodone every 4 hours to keep him comfortable. The pain is caused from the withdrawals from the steroid he was on.<br />
His oxygen keeps dropping (into the 80s) when he sleeps.<br />
He seems to be doing much better than yesterday.<br />
His blood levels are not low enough that he needs a transfusion.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your concern and prayers! He is doing so much better. I will up date as I get more info.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09530839941420376220noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900128809580124829.post-64319548644201639162013-09-11T20:58:00.003-06:002013-09-11T21:09:49.717-06:00Scary day...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"></span><br />
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
Just wanted to send a quick update. Reiss has gone downhill today. My mom is staying with him, and the other kids, while Amber and Kenny are out of town. This morning, Reiss passed out, was struggling to breathe, and spiked a fever. My mom rushed him to the hospital in Price, where they spent most of the day. His oxygen was only at 73 when they arrived. They were able to stabilize him and run some tests. His blood, platelets, and ANC are all very low. They did an x-ray and although it came back looking ok, they think he is pre-pneumonia. They have decided to air lift him to Primary's, and will admit him to the PICU (pediatric intensive care unit) to make sure he gets the best 24 hour care. With his ANC at only 100, any infection will be a fight. He is alert and talking, and doing as well as can be expected. He is a fighter! I'm grateful he will be in the best care. I will update as we learn more. </div>

<i>"Rough day today at clinic. But it was oh so bitter sweet...he got his last shot! YAY! You could definitely tell Reiss had some 'hospitalitis' (that what the nurses call it) going on. His counts are really low...100. So we have had to cancel all of our plans for this coming weekend. :-( We are back into isolation pretty much. To top off the day and reward Reiss</i><i> for being so brave on this series of shots (every other day), I took him to buy a new YELLOW strider! The pictures don't show it, but he was very excited and happy. He hasn't felt good since treatment today. :-( He just hasn't been happy all day- Poor guy!"</i><br />

Today Reiss and Amber headed to SLC for his chemo. Reiss was excited to donate some tractors to clinic! They have lots of trucks and cars, but no tractors! So this was fun for him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here he is with the child life specialist. I think they have such a fun job! </div>

They get to bring smiles to these sweet little faces!</div>

I'm always impressed how this hospital tries to make these visits as fun as possible for these sweet little cancer kids. Reiss has some anxiety and fear about these visits because he knows he has to get a shot in his leg. Once the shot is over, he is able to relax and enjoy some of the fun activities they provide him. They provided lots of fun today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They also got to see Presley at clinic today! I'm glad Amber snapped a picture! Love these two!</div>

Reiss seems to be feeling a little better. The stomach bug is pretty much completely gone, plus he is off of steroids this week, and that makes a big difference. <br />
He'll be back to PCMC on Friday and Tuesday <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(Monday is a holiday) </span>.<br />
We'll keep you posted.<br />

Reiss started Delayed Intensification on August 19. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is what I know (from Amber and Alysa) about DI:</div>
*It is a very intense 2 months of chemo.<br />
*This phase will last 8 weeks, and is divided into 2 parts. <br />
*The first 4 weeks he will receive a new chemo called Doxorubicin, also known as, "the red devil". It is called this, because it is red in color. It has a lifetime maximum dose, and can be a dangerous chemo. It can cause heart damage so they will monitor his heart and function. He had an EKG/ECHO at diagnosis. This is a new chemo for Reiss. Some of the more common side effects include: nausea, vomiting, hair loss, red urine, low blood count, mouth sores. Less common side effects include: heart damage, nail bed changes, skin sensitivity. It is administered through his port. <br />
*He will also be on steroids- dexamethasone. This is the same steroid he had during induction <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(the first phase.) </span>He will take steroids for 7 days, then he will have 7 days off for the first month....Seven days on, seven days off- for 4 weeks.<br />
*He will also go to PCMC every other day (MWF) for 2 weeks (Starting Aug. 19 and Ending Sept. 2) to get a shot of chemo in his leg. (PEG alternative).<br />
*After the first 4 weeks he will have one week off, and then he will start the 2nd part of DI. He will be count dependent to continue.<br />

He started this phase on Monday, August 19. He got chemo Monday (19th) and Wednesday (21st). By Thursday, he started throwing up and continued to do so 13 times (!) by Friday morning. Amber took him to PCMC early on Friday. They assumed he had a stomach bug, but because his counts were up, they continued with chemo. His vomiting did stop, but he just doesn't feel good. His tummy hurts, he complains of his head hurting... and he is frequently telling Amber "I don't feel good." He has been fussy, tired, and clingy. He just wants someone near him, and to be held. Bless his little heart. He also isn't sleeping well. Amber finally put him in her bed so they could both get some rest, and he has been sleeping a little better being near his momma and daddy. He doesn't have much of an appetite... which is unusual for being on the steroid. He is still recovering from his bout with pneumonia from a few weeks ago (post to come), and continues to cough frequently. Amber isn't sure if his symptoms seem worse because of the stomach virus, the respiratory virus, the chemo, or a combination of all three. It's just hard to tell. Doctors say this is the hardest phase... and so far it hasn't been easy. :( Today was a little better with the diarrhea, and for the first time in a few days he wanted to be outside with his dad and siblings. Hoping he can get on top of those viruses, so he can deal a little better with the side effects of the chemo. He will go to PCMC tomorrow (28th), Friday (30th), and back again on Monday (Sept. 2nd). Please continue to keep him in your prayers.<br />

Reiss finished up his 8 weeks of Interim Consolidation. Overall, this phase went pretty well! Although the 4 days spent in the hospital every other week were long, and a little inconvenient, Amber said this phase went much better than she expected. Staying in the hospital had its hard moments, but they were so grateful to have such wonderful care and monitoring for Reiss, which really helped keep him comfortable. Despite the side effects; mouth sores, feet sores, port issues (resulting in de-accessing and re-accessing while in the hospital) things were pretty good! I (Erin) was able to be in UT for the last part of this phase! It was so good to see him feeling good and doing well! We went to church and he looked so handsome, I just had to snap a few pictures! We made a deal that if he would let me take his pictures, then I would let him climb up my legs and do flips! It worked! <br />

Reiss was so excited to get a visit from his sister, brother and Colorado cousins while he was in the hospital for his last week of IM. His nurse gave all 6 kids popsicles. Then we went to the play room. I'm sure they were happy to get rid of us for a little while! </div>

I was so impressed with the new "Forever Young" playroom at PCMC. It is a fun room full of toys and activities for patients and their families to enjoy! My kids had a blast, and I know Amber's kids love going there to play with their little brother. They have everything from crafts, ipads, video games, pretend play, a camping tent, and a "hospital corner" with all the kid size hospital pretend toys. A fun and cheerful place for these sweet little fighters to enjoy!<br />

The biggest news of this week is that Reiss is POTTY TRAINED!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Hooray!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's actually a funny story! Amber had been putting off potty training because of everything that is going on in his life (understandably). Not to mention, the frequent hospital stays this phase requires. She knew he was ready, but didn't want to push him to potty train, only to have him regress when they went to the hospital. So, this is how it went down. They were at the park one day, and Reiss pooped. Amber had wipes (thankfully), but didn't have another diaper. So she just put his pants on and told him not to pee his pants! They had a fun time at the park and went home a little while later. Amber forgot he didn't have a diaper on, and a few hours later Reiss starting panicking and saying... "Mom! I need a diaper!! I have to pee!" So Amber put him on the toilet. But he wouldn't go and Amber couldn't figure out why! Finally, Reiss told her, "I don't want you to CHEER for me!" So, Amber turned around (so she wasn't facing him), and held back her cheers of happiness when that little boy went on the toilet for the first time! Little Stinker!! He continued to demand, "Don't cheer for me!" every time he went to the bathroom! By the time he went to the hospital again he was doing great, and CONTINUED to do great throughout his stay! Such a big boy!! Just don't<i> cheer</i> for him! </div>

It has taken me a couple days (two weeks actually) to find the right words to describe the amazing event that took place in Price, on June 15, for little Reiss. There are no words to do it justice....awesome, incredible, unbelievable and wonderful! It was absolutely AMAZING! To witness the love and support for this little boy, and his family, was unreal! There is so much good in this world, and Saturday evening was filled with some of the most giving, supportive and wonderful people. This fundraiser was through the non-profit organization, <a href="http://anythingforafriend.com/" target="_blank">Anything For A Friend.</a> <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/?nid=71&sid=25675275" target="_blank">Becky Anderson</a>, the woman behind this organization, and cancer survivor herself, is an inspiration. She has taken the concept of "pay it forward" to a whole new level! Believing that humans have the innate desire to connect and help each other when someone is in need, she has helped families, friends, and communities organize dozens of fundraising events, raising over $750,000 for those in need. Bringing hope and financial relief to families who have been devastated by the words "You/your child have cancer.<br />

The evening consisted of a delicious dinner catered by <a href="http://ilovebellas.com/" target="_blank">Bella's Fresh Mexican Grill.</a> A fun kids corner filled part of the football field with face painting, bounce house, fish pond, balloons, cotton candy and popcorn. For $5.00 the kids got a wrist band and were in HEAVEN! :) Not to mention the train ride going around the track! It was a hit! There were also some beautiful music numbers. A children's choir, including Reiss's friends and cousins, sang the Alabama song, "Angels Among Us." I'm pretty sure there wasn't a dry eye listening to those children sing! Some of Amber's friends sang a beautiful song, "When you believe", and our cousin Mandee, topped off the night by singing Rascal Flatts, "I will stand by you", during the balloon release. It is such a perfect song for our little buddy and the Timothy family. The evening was filled with smiles, laughter, and tears!<br />

I think Amber summed it up best in her facebook status that night:<br />

Thank you, to ALL, who made this evening possible. It is Incredible what a small community can do to bring so much hope, love, and support to someone when the opportunity arises.......

There was a live auction, and a silent auction going on for most of the night. In the end, $45,000 was raised for this sweet family- as well as, a three year car lease that was donated to them from a local dealership to help with their frequent trips to SLC. It was AMAZING!<br />
<br />
These are the first pictures of them receiving their NEW CAR!! They had no idea this was for them. In fact, when I asked Amber about it she thought it was part of the auction! :) <a href="http://www.thepriceautogroup.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Price Auto Group</a> donated a three years lease on 2012 Ford Focus to help with gas costs, going to and from Primary Children's. It gets 40 mpg, and can fit all three kids in the back. This is such a blessing to them! And to top it off, Farm Bureau (Richard Hackwell) provided one year of free insurance.<br />

His ANC came back at 2100 (yay!!) when they tested him on Sunday. Wonderful news! The timing of this phase has been a blessing. Amber is able to drive to Heber City on Sunday afternoon. She spends the night, and leaves Amiah and Tayger with my mom, while she stays at the hospital with Reiss for most of the week. With it being summer and the kids out of school, and my mom out of school (she's a secretary at the middle school), this arrangement has worked great! It would be much harder and so very stressful if Amiah was in school and Granny had to work. Just a little blessing to be very thankful for! :)<br />
<br />
Yesterday went much better than last time. First of all he didn't have to get a LP (lumbar puncture). He was excited to go to the playroom and didn't have much anxiety. He asked Amber, in the parking lot, if he had to get a shot. When she reassured him that he didn't he calmed down. They got him admitted right away and started pushing fluids. His ph levels must be at a certain level before they can administer the methotrexate (chemo). They started the drip of metho around 3:00pm. So far there hasn't been any side effects. They are keeping a watch for blisters on his feet... they showed up on day 3 (Wednesday) last time, but we are hoping and praying they don't return! Still hoping for an early afternoon discharge on Thursday.<br />
<br />
They have a different view this time, but trucks and tractors still the same! Lots of time is spent in front of this window! <br />

One little hiccup to note: Reiss has been on some eye drops for pink eye. When a child is admitted to PCMC their meds must all go through the pharmacy at the hospital so that the nurses and doctors are aware of the meds they are taking previous to being admitted, and so they can monitor doses etc. So Amber had to get a NEW prescription from PCMC for his eye drops when they got there. After giving him his new prescription a couple times his eyes got swollen and puffy and he was complaining that they hurt. Worried it was a side effect from the chemo Amber called the nurse in. The nurse did some research and come to find out the pharmacy (at PCMC) had filled his prescription with EAR DROPS instead of EYE drops! Poor little guy was getting ear drops in his eyes! No wonder that hurt! Yikes! Amber felt so bad, but of course there was no way for her to know. Just grateful it wasn't life threatening or damaging to his vision. </div>

One of the things they were able to do was to go to the DERBY!! Who doesn't love going to the derby!! Did you know that my husband has NEVER been to a derby before?!? We better get him to one... he would love it! :) I just wanted to share these cute pictures of Reiss, and his family. It is so good to see them doing normal and fun things.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reiss's hair has just kept growing and it was getting SO long and shaggy again, so he got another hair cut! Amber just can't bring herself to shave it even though she knows it will eventually fall out. I don't blame her! </div>

I can't wait to share the pictures and details of his "big party". </span><br />

Over that two week period his ANC went from 20, to 53, then to 140, and finally up to 1088. Remember he has to be at 750 (count dependent) in order to go forward with treatment during this phase. They were admitted to the hospital Monday (June 10) morning. It ended up being a pretty rough day. Reiss had a lumbar puncture and woke up very hysterical and upset. Kicking, crying, thrashing, and screaming "I want to go home!" It was like he had "roid rage", but with out the steroids. He knew he had to stay in the hospital, and had a lot of anxiety that first day. Amber tried to take him outside to calm him down, but nothing worked. Finally she got him to his room and rocked him and that seemed to settle him down. The heavy dose of chemo they use during this phase is called methotrexate. It has to drip slowly through his port for 23 hours, in addition to the vincristine, and the 6MP (oral chemo). While on the Methotrexate, they must monitor his urine to make sure his PH levels are right. Every two hours Amber had to change his diaper and the nurses would check his urine. Methotrexate can cause mouth sores, and rashes. It was very important for Amber to change his diaper as often as possible- even every two hours through the night- to prevent sores on his bottom. Needless to say no one got very much sleep! :) Poor little buddy never got a diaper rash, but started getting "blisters" on the bottom of his feet. This can also be a side effect of the chemo. His little feet were so sore, he didn't even want to walk. They wrapped his feet up to try and cool them off and soothe them. <br />

Luckily his counts were good so he was allowed to leave his room. This little window and ledge was one of his favorite spots! I wonder if the workers on that job site realize how many little children are watching them through the hospital windows?<br />

They spent four days in the hospital and came home on Thursday night. Just in time for his "BIG PARTY" on Saturday. More on that later. I (Erin) left for Price on Thursday, and a few hours after I arrived, Amber surprised us and walked through the door with little Reiss man! We thought they wouldn't get to come home until Friday. What a wonderful surprise! </div>

He will now get treatment, every other week. So it's basically one week in the hospital, one week off. If he makes counts he will go back on Monday morning. Please keep praying for this little boy. He is so strong and brave and is doing well, but it is so hard and heartbreaking at the same time. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri;">Message from Amber and Kenny:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri;">"We are so grateful for the AMAZING weekend with friends and family. Teams from, not only Price, but all over the state came to support our little Reiss Man. We are so grateful for all the teams that participated. Fourteen co-ed teams and eleven men's teams! It was amazing! We are especially grateful for the umpires who DONATED tons of their time and worked SO hard, with little sleep. Thank you Carbon Rec., Brandi, Luke, Duane, and Destry! We couldn't have done it without you. It was an amazing feeling to look out and see so many wearing their Rally for Reiss t-shirts and doing so much for our son and family! Our hearts are so full! A very special thank you to Cam and Amanda Bennett, Trevor Wood, Hackwell Families, Butlers, Timothy Family and the Jensen's. There was an amazing and special little family that came and made delicious personal size pizzas. Thank you Mike, Jen and kids. Another special thanks to Bryce Dougal, and Jeremy Montgomery, for donating your time and wearing out your fingers making necklaces. This tournament wouldn't have been such a success if it weren't for all of these amazing people, our awesome community, and all of our softball friends. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri;">We love you all!"</span><br />

They checked Reiss's blood again today to make sure his ANC was coming back up. It was at 200 on Monday, and must be at 750 to begin the next phase- next week. Well, it has gotten even <i>lower</i> and was only at 20 today! :( So the good news is that he gets to skip a week, and won't start the next phase until June 5. This will allow him to get his counts up, and (hopefully) attend the softball fundraiser in Price next weekend. The bad news is that his ANC is very low which means that his immune system is compromised and he is more susceptible to viruses and infection. Please keep this in mind if you will be around the Timothy family. Hopefully his numbers will go up so they will be comfortable taking him to the softball fundraiser. :) </div>

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!</div>

I am often amazed at how strong the human spirit is. How resilient we <i>really</i> are when pushed to our limits. Often times in life we wonder, "How will I ever survive this? How will we get by? How am I going to do this?" But time and time again we surprise ourselves with the innate ability and desire to push on. In the beginning it is just getting by. Breathing. Taking things minute by minute. Then, day by day, week by week and eventually year by year we make astounding progress. This journey, these last few months, I have witnessed first hand the resilience of the human spirit. </div>

Reiss has been a trooper. On Friday, he will have travelled to Primary Children's three times a week for the last two weeks. They live about four hours (round trip) from the hospital so you can imagine the toll that has taken on Amber, Reiss, and the whole family. I talked to Amber today to get a feel for what its been like, and she is so positive. Knowing it has been exhausting and daunting I expected to hear her say exactly that. Instead she replied, "There isn't much to complain about.":)</div>

Next week he will start phase three! </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This phase will be hard, because he will be admitted to the hospital for 3-5 days when he receives chemo. They have to monitor him closely with this next chemo to make sure it doesn't damage his kidneys. By being in the hospital they can push IV fluids, monitor his blood and make sure he is tolerating everything ok. These hospital stays will occur every 2 weeks for the duration of 8 weeks. Prayers for little Reiss, and the whole Timothy family, in the months to follow. </div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
A sad little conversation Amber just shared with me:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Reiss just came limping in the kitchen and said... 'Mom, I can't walk.' and I said 'Why can't you walk buddy?'... and he said, 'Cause I have cancer in my body'!!!! Ohhhh that just broke my heart. So sad!" </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Words like "'Cancer', and, 'I can't walk'" just shouldn't be in a 3 year olds vocabulary! :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you again for all the love, support, prayers and well wishes. </div>
