So far so good with the treatments this week. Whether it's due to no Cytoxan this times, the extra IV fluids, larger dosage of the anti-nausea meds or that our Hero was a bit under the weather last time - this week's treatment have been much easier on Joe. These things along with a long blood transfusion gave JoJo lots of energy which equated to the return of the rambunctious little man we all know and love. (It even resulted in a bit of smiling/giggling/flirting with the nurses - which was a first as normally our Hero has been all business when it comes to treatment.)
The blood work this week came back a little low (hence the transfusion) but all of that is completely to be expected given all the chemo. But even with all the treatment, Joe's ANC remained above 1000 which helps fight off the germs. So everyone keep the prayers coming that the treatments go well this week (Friday is a big one - Spinal Methotrexate - sedation, Vincristine - IV push and PEG muscular leg shots - while sedated) and that the next set of blood work shows a bit of a bounce back. Let's keep it going! Stay tuned...
