New Update on Chandler

Things are going better than we could have ever thought.  He is a little tired, a little moody, a little sore and a  little sick.  All of that being said he is still doing very well.  He lost his first "clump" of hair last week.  I thought that he would be a little more upset about it, but it just happened to be the day that Bret Ratliff from the New York Jets and U of U came to visit him at football practice.  Somehow, Brett found out about Chandler and when U of U played Oregon last week he came to visit Chandler and also gave him a New York Jets football, signed by the whole team.  Even Brett Favre!  He was thrilled.  They even did another news shot on Fox 13.  They have been very good to him!  Ryan, my brother, also got a call saying that someone wanted to open an account for Chandler to help with the medical expenses.  Right now all I have to say is "People are amazing!"  Thursday is when Chandler goes back into the hospital for his 3rd chemo treatment.  In the beginning they were hoping to only have to do 5 treatments so that means that we are half way there.  AMAZING!  They said theselast treatments are going to be the worst on him so I will for sure keep everyone posted.  Thank you for all of the love and prayers!
