Happy Labor Day Weekend!

We continue making progress with the anti-neoplaston and our training on how to administer the treatments. The sessions are getting shorter as we are able to go through the routines more quickly. So far, no reactions or adverse effects – which continues to be encouraging. The quicker we can get Chase up to the full dose, the quicker we’ll begin to see it’s efficacy. We took Chase shopping to find a backpack that could be use to more conveniently carry the pump and IV bags around with him. Surprisingly, he didn't pick Spiderman - this time it was Ugio (sp?) and he’s happy to be self-sufficient with his backpack.

We also had a good conversation with Dr. Schiller, the Dean of Chase’s school (Cranbrook) to discuss the situation and what could be done to accommodate his needs. They were aware of the diagnosis and more than willing to work with us to come up with a plan, when Chase is ready to return. This was very encouraging, because we’re hoping to get him back to “normal” as soon as possible. This will probably mean ½ days at school for a few weeks, so that he can come home and have a lunch with Carol that is designed to maintain his counts per the guidance of his Nutritionist. It will also enable him to get some rest as we help to boost his immune system.

Overall, this was the end to a pretty successful week. We are feeling really blessed with how smoothly things are going – this week, we managed to get Chase’s port installed, find a comfortable place in Houston, start his treatments, get a routine going and really feel like we’re moving in the right direction. We continue to get supporting affirmations that we’ve chosen the right treatment program for Chase, and we’re augmenting it with homeopathy, good nutrition and lots of love. We definitely see him responding and getting stronger every day.

Chase’s sister, Barbara, is excited about going back to school next week. I’ll take her home on Tuesday afternoon so that she can be ready to start with her first grade class on Wednesday. Fortunately, it’ll be a short week so we can come back to Houston on Fri afternoon to be with Carol and Chase over the weekend. Then, if all continues as scheduled, they will have one more week of on-site treatments and training before we can all head back home together around the 19th or 20th.

We hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. We’re going to try and keep things “light” here – Chase will continue to have daily appointments at the clinic, but they should be fairly short, just to review his #’s, give him another dose, program the pump for the next day, etc. If all goes well, we’ll be back in training on Tue with a significantly higher dose and well on our way up the curve.

Thanks again for all the prayers and support!!

Love,

John & Carol
Chase & Barbara
