Journal entry by Casey Parnell

Hi Friends, 
We found out that Trey will be starting intense chemo on Feb 5th - cycles will be every other week for 12 cycles (approx 6 months) 

As we prep & think about our needs, here are some ways we could use help…

Practical:
- $10,000 to assist with medical bills and extra expenses during this season (Venmo: Jenna-Anderson-62 (last 4 of phone # 0990)
- Costco and DoorDash gift cards for grocery and household needs.
- Shoppers/errand runners for groceries & odds and ends.
- House Cleaner (SO incredibly helpful)
- Fridge/Freezer for garage to store extras of what we need and to shop less frequently.

Prayer:
- Prayer as they “retry” a chemo drug (Oxaliplatin) that Trey had a severe allergic reaction to after his 3rd cycle during his first round of chemo. It wasn’t used again after the reaction. This drug has been shown to be incredibly effective in Trey’s type of cancer. 
- Jenna will be carrying much of the load in the home life while she works full-time. Pray for peace, endurance, and energy.
- Side effects: That they would be lessened so that Trey can enjoy the time between cycles as much as possible.
- Endurance to keep going the next 12 cycles of chemo. It’ll be about 6 months of a hard fight for not only Trey, but Jenna and the girls.
- Family mental health: That the kiddos, Jenna, & Trey’s mental health would be preserved and healthy. 
- Health and wholeness: That this treatment would do wonders and put Trey back in remission and on the road to healing.
