First out-patient visit

Isaiah had his first out-patient visit yesterday to get his chemo.  His blood counts were very good so he did not need a blood transfusion, yay!  He seems to be sick today from the chemo and has a severe diaper rash.  The rash was bleeding a bit.  It looks so sore.  Chemotherapy acts by killing cells that divide rapidly.  This not only includes the leukemia cells but also the good cells in our bodies such as the ones in our gastrointestinal tract, hence the rash.  Please pray that this goes away because it is very painful for him.
