Update on Nicholas from Misty:
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Nicholas!! He has done so well with this cycle. We are so thankful 🙌🏻  He started this cycle of chemo last Wednesday in clinic and has been inpatient since Monday for the rest.  We are going home (our Memphis home) today!! He’ll have two more days of chemo in clinic. He’s just been nauseous and not really felt like eating but he has still been eating at least a little something every day. He’s had blurry vision for a couple weeks. They checked his eyes this week and he does have a small hemorrhage that is causing the blurry vision. They are just going to continue to monitor it, hopefully it will clear up on it’s own. He can only see out of one eye due to a childhood injury and of course the hemorrhage is in his good eye. It doesn’t seem to bother him much. He can still see ok close up, just has issues seeing far away. Please pray the hemorrhage clears up on its own and that he continues to feel good after he finishes this cycle of chemo. Thanks friends ❤️🎗
