Quick Update (UPDATED): Good news is that Declan has gotten a break from his daily (sometimes two types) of chemotherapy, just in time for Easter and Easter Week/Spring Break. He did have to go in on Tuesday (4/2) for immunoglobulin injections that dad and mom had to administer at two sites simultaneously, and will likely have to do weekly for the foreseeable future. Never fun to jab your child! Hoping this will bring up his neutrophil count that have been tanking these past weeks, with all the viruses. Platelet have rebounded well. He has appointments and a scheduled spinal tap, with two chemo drugs tomorrow, but we will see what his blood counts are in the morning. Prayers please. Thank you for donations and meals! As a treat, here is a pic of Declan with his big brother Becket, in their Easter outfits, put together by mom! 

FOUND A SUPER-CUTE PIC OF THE SAME TWO KING BOYS FROM ALMOST SIX YEARS AGO. DECLAN DID HAVE THE SPINAL TAP (LUMBAR PUNCTURE), WITH TWO CHEMO INFUSIONS ON THURSDAY (4/4). ALL WENT WELL. STILL WITHHOLDING DAILY CHEMO. MORE BLOODWORK THIS WEEK. BONUS INFO... ***FUN STUFF (FROM A SICK-DAD-OF-A-SICK-BUT-AWESOME-KID): 

• AS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN, DAD BOUGHT DECLAN (DECCO, OFTEN TO US) A RAMONES T-SHIRT IN 2022. ALMOST COULDN'T HELP IT, CUZ... https://youtu.be/bm51ihfi1p4?si=Mds6LIc8Bnt2ZfjZ WELL, MOM (AMY) WORE A RAMONES SWEATSHIRT ON THURSDAY AND THE SEDATION DOCTOR REMEMBERED AND PICKED UP ON IT CRAZILY QUICK. SEEMILY THEY (THOSE PEOPLE - SEDATION DOCS 😃) LOVE THAT SONG. CANCER SUCKS, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T LOVE AND LAUGH, IN ITS FACE.
• SICK IDEA #TWO FROM DAD (SORRY TO DISPLAY MY MADNESS PUBLICLY): WHEN DECCO IS DONE WITH ALL THIS, CLEAR AND HEALTHY, AND NEEDS A NEW T-SHIRT, I PLAN ON GETTING A SPINAL TAP T-SHIRT, FOR HIM AND MAYBE MOM, HIS SISTERS, BROTHER AND ME, WITH THE (TOUR?) DATES OF ALL HIS MANY  (TOO MANY) PROCEDURES.

 For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world!
