Today is Day #16 and Trey continues to do well. His counts on Monday came back favorable and were on the rise, so no more daily shots for now. His platelets were still dropping but not drastically. We will see what Thursday's test results bring. He is looking good and acting more like himself every day. He is teething so sleep is still challenging but we are putting lots of miles on our cruising stroller! If we stay on schedule Trey should be admitted on Tuesday 07/28 for Cycle 2.
Although I continue to get more comfortable with my "nursing duties" it was made very clear on Sunday that I still have a ways to go. While I was trying to give Trey his shot I fumbled the needle and it fell on the floor, not before poking poor Tim in the leg though! Oops. No harm done and I am now holding onto the shot much tighter when administering it. (Sorry Tim!)
Trey is still going strong on the meatballs and pasta. Nana and Papa made a special batch of meatballs for Trey and Josie that should last through the weekend we hope. :)
Josie is enjoying her little brother (except when he tries to take her stuff) now that he can walk and interact with her. They both LOVE to watch Blues Clues! Tim and I know all the Blues Clues songs by heart. HELP!
Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers for Trey and our family.

What is Trey's Corner?
On February 26, 2009 our 9-month old son Trey was diagnosed with neuroblastoma - a rare cancer of the nervous system.
Trey's tumor was in his upper chest, specifically growing along the sympathetic nerve running along his spine. On March 17th, surgeons at Strong Memorial Hospital perfromed a thoracotomy, removing a significant amount of the tumor. The follow-up MRI showed that the remaining piece of tumor - while small - was still active and located in a very tricky spot, having grown into his spinal canal. So on July 7th, Trey began chemotherapy to try to eliminate or at least stop any further growth of the tumor tissue that remained.
This site has been set up by Tim and Brandy to keep our family and friends up-to-speed on how Trey is doing and what our plans are to get him cured.
