BEADS OF COURAGE (Simeon)

The second day of Chemo went great.  I felt great just a little pain in my back and a little weak.  I played the Wii a lot in the play room, it's lots of fun.  Then my mom and me made ornaments for the Christmas tree.  After that I made beads of courage.  Beads of Courage represent your courage through your cancer fight, each bead represents some part of the cancer fight and I have a lot of beads already so I have lots of courage.  These are the beads I have so far:

 23 Yellow = Nights in the hospital

13 Purple = Pain Medication

7 Black = Blood draws and Picc injections

6 Light Green = MRI, EKG, CT Scan X-Ray

6 Silver = Dressing Change

3 White = Chemotherapy

2 Aqua = Foley

2 Red = Blood Products

2 Stars = Surgery

1 Orange = Line Placement

1 Magenta = ER

1 Red Heart = ICU

I spend a lot of time in the playroom and my sister came to visit I also have some friends from mom job visiting.  I'm going home Monday. God is helping me fight through this in Jesus name!

" And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen." Matthew 21:21
