An interview with Marcos + school things

I found a video of an interview that my friends Perri and Frances made with me. It was made a couple of weeks ago and it covers things like my chemo and drugs that I have to take. This is the day that I realized my hair was falling out! It's taken a while for us to figure out how to upload it.

[Marcos' Interview]

My grandmother, Barbara, is coming to visit me for two whole weeks. She is arriving tonight! I'm really excited to see her. The last time I saw her was in August, so it has been a while.

This is me getting chemotherapy yesterday. I decided to wear a couple of crazy masks because I thought it would be funny! I had to skip school so I wanted it to be exiting.

School is going well; it's hard for me to keep up with the classwork that I'm missing. Tomorrow I'm going to Career Fair at John Paul Johns. I'm excited because it might help me figure out what to do after highschool! Now I'm thinking about going into automotive diagnostic - that's when technicians figure out what's wrong with your car using a computer. Since I love cars, that would be something I would love. I also love working with people, so whatever I do I want to be around people. But, I'm keeping my options open and hopefully something will come out of the blue!

The Good News!

This foundation called Hope Cam sent me a mini tablet so I can stay
connected to my friends and to my classes when I am at home and
getting treatment.  Thank you I am going to sykpe into  my history
class on Monday.

Good News.  I got the results from my PET and CT scans.   No cancer lit up  so I have only one more full cycle of chemo and no radiation needed.  This is an answer to lots of prayers.
I had 3 days of chemo this past week and one more day on Monday to finish my 3rd round.  I hope that I will be healthy enough to go on my Confirmation retreat next weekend.  I felt better this time, but still spent 2 nights in the Hospital. 

Some of my teacher's visited me in the hospital.  Thanks for coming Mr. Davis, Mr. Osborn, Ms. Nicholson and Ms. Herman and her mother-in-law and they brought me some cool things and some carpe donuts.  Also some people from my scouts visited Mr. and Mrs. Beaver.  They brought Wayside Chicken and homemade mac and cheese.  It was really good.  The Nelsons and Frank came too.  I love visitors. 

Last Sunday we were going to go on a walk with our friend Uncle Andy when we
 spotted this Aston Martin DB9 (volcanic red) parked in front of one of "Uncle"
Andy's friends house.  He was cleaning his garage and then he came out to
talk with us a little bit and tell us all about his 2013 car that he had shipped
from California.  It only has 3,000 miles on it.  To get it's oil changed it has to
be shipped to North Carolina.  Dr. Bauer took me on a spin around the
Forest Lakes neighborhood playing the James Bond theme music.  One interesting
thing is that there is a pen that comes out of the dashboard when you
press a button.  The interior leather took the lives of 7 Scottish cows and it takes
70 hours to stitch it.  It is the only 2013 Aston Martin DB9 in the US that
color.  And only about 1500 are made each year in England.  I hope my
parents will buy one for me when I am in college.  Do you think it is likely?
First I need to get my driver's license. 

Mr. Desmond my scout master-- I shaved his head at my last scout meeting, so now he looks like me.
