Braxton has escaped the extra hospital stay and has managed to rest and hydrate his way through minor fever scares and fatigue from low counts!!! He is, currently, having a blood transfusion to give him some energy and kick his hemoglobin up. We are, almost, off of the chemo treatment train and gearing up help Braxton to be a regular kid again.
Lastnight we were able to take Braxton to the Twins game! Tickets, compliments of his football coaches from MVYF, were a great treat. Braxton was able to go onthe field and watch batting practice. He was also given the opportunity to talk with players and get autographs! Carlos Gomez signed his practice bat and gave it to Braxton! He also signed Braxton's Twins cap and baseball glove. Braxton got autographs from Joe Mauer too (and a bunch of other players whose names I can't remember but Braxton knows them... :) ) It was a good night of relaxed fun with the kid. We needed that!! Pictures will follow.
Please continue to pray for Braxton's healthy recovery and clean scans next week. Tomorrow we will be attending the Turtle Races at the U Hospital campus to benefit children's research and special services. On June 28, the Children's Cancer Research Fund is hosting the annual Time To Fly walk/run. We will be out of town and cannot particpate but look forward to taking part in it next year!!
Thankyou all for your support and warm wishes!!
