Hey everyone,
Just a quick update on a few things...
Jack is heading home today - yay!
After all tests related to his gall bladder and liver came back clear, and the oral pain medicine seeming to work well for his headaches and stomach aches, the hospital sent us packing. Hooray for that! A big thanks again to all the CHOA nurses, docs, techs and of course masters behind the french toast sticks for taking such amazing care of our buddy and helping him get through the past week.
We are excited to spend the weekend at home & hopefully get Jack outside in this beautiful weather for a good dose of Vitamin D.
10% of radiation is DONE! Chemo will wait a couple weeks...
3 out of 30 radiation treatments have been completed and Jack is ready to keep knocking 'em out! The appointments will be at 12:15pm Mon-Friday.
Tiffany put together a 'countdown book' for Jack with different pictures behind each number of his countdown of days till radiation is over (29 through 1). Thanks to all the friends and family who contributed a number!
As for chemo, Dr. Claire is wanting to wait a couple weeks before starting to ensure that Jack's blood counts stay high enough to continue both treatments. More on that when we hear.
Some fun stuff...
Here is a link to the first video of our cousin Jason and Tiff's great friend Christie singing the other day in the hospital room. Magical. We will get the others posted soon!
