Levi really needs your extra prayers today! He is going through the intense chemo and total body irradiation (TBI) and he is really having a very hard time with it all. The side effects are making him extremely sick.
Not only is he dealing with overwhelming nausea, but he then had an allergic reaction to the medicine that they were using to try to treat the nausea, which caused him vomiting. He has been having seizure-like episodes, and is being medicated for that. It is totally overwhelming to be so heavily medicated and nauseous, and then have to sit through the TBI. Levi barely made it through his second treatment yesterday, and still has three more TBI treatments to go.
Please, please pray that he will have the strength to get through these treatments, and that the side effects of all the medications can be lessened for him. It is a pretty rough day for him here. Thanks.
