Back on Track!

Our Hero's numbers appear to back on the rise again! The labs showed that all his numbers were up and as confirmation that no good deed goes unpunished, for all his efforts of getting strong, he was treated to Spinal Methortrexate sedation (along with Vincristine and antibiotics for good measure.) But then, in ways that only Mom's can, true reward was given when Joe was off to Blue C Sushi at University Village to happily watch his food arrive on a conveyor belt.

Now that Joe's numbers are up and his body seems to have recovered from his bug, he will be starting back up on his chemo pills (easing back in with half doses.) The goal now is to get that break from the hospital trips JoJo thought he was going to get before. If all goes as planned he won't need to go back until April 9th and after that, if everything continues to remain on track Joseph will be ready to start Delayed Intensification on April 23rd.

Even with the bumps in the road (the bugs, the 5 day, twice a day, steroids that tend to anger Joe - although they haven't caused the hunger and the weight gain this time) all of Team Taylor feels blessed and very happy for things to have gone as smoothly as they have. You only need see one very sick child at the hospital to know and be thankful for what our Hero has been to accomplish so far. Heck, people can't believe he hasn't even lost his hair. As always, thank you and keep the prayers and positive vibes coming! Stay tuned...
