Hi Everyone,

Today and yesterday have been calm days for Sebastian. He has been spending his time doing a lot of art work!

Friday will have a lot of procedures. Sebastian will be getting a semi-permanant catheter put in his chest for the next 6 months (at least) so that he does not have to have to get pricked by needles for an IV so often. This is stressful for Suz and Michi, but they think in the long run it will be easier than changing his IV line every 3 days (Sebas hates having them put in). It will take an hour to put this "Hickman Line" (that's what they are calling it) in. They will have to be very careful of infection and will flush it clean on a regular basis.

He will have his second round of chemo, consisting of 3 drugs, 2 of them will take an hour and the 3rd will be quick. Additionally, he will have another bone marrow biopsy and lumbar puncture. He will be watching lots of movies!

Sebas has a slight cough and has to breath 4 times daily out of the 'asthma bong', which he does not mind. They do not expect to have to do this for much longer.

This will be a hard day, so please send extra prayers to Sebastian, Suzanne, and Michi. Thank you all so much for your continued support. We appreciate it so much. Love, Jenith and Family

An hour of fresh air - we could go outside for a walk.
