Update

Where to begin...

Since my last post, Travis has received a round of radiation treatment and has been banned from our home (by the doctors, not me) for fear of causing permanent damage to our growing little boy. The doctors anticipated that the radiation would clear from his body in 5-7 days but tomorrow will mark day 14 and as of this morning he was charting at 5 mrems, which is equal to a dental xray. We are hoping that the radiation will have cleared by Friday when he will fly to Kansas to meet us for Thanksgiving. As far as his eye is concerned, not much has changed. After his initial visit to the opthamologist it was predicted that the ulcer would be cleared up in a few days but as of yesterday and 3 rounds of treatment it has not changed at all. Travis was referred to UT Southwestern to consult with a corneal specialist team and they didn't have a clue what was going on either.

To say we are frustrated wouldn't begin to describe what is going on in our family. Please keep Travis (and us other Blocks) in your prayers.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm so sorry Travis is still suffering. This is so frustrating! I'll be remembering you all in my prayers even more.

Glad you had a good Thanksgiving! Go Chiefs! Little Man looks great in red!
