Round 4 underway!!

His bloodcounts yesterday were juuuust good enough to do the lumbar puncture and marrow test. Then they admitted him and started chemo last night. We will find out the results of the tests over the next day or so... I'm hoping they are good!!

We are almost there.. one more round of chemo and life can return to some sort of normalcy. I still won't be able to return to work for a month or two after.. he will still be going through the effects of the chemo and his counts will take a bit to get back up. Also, a slew of testing that will be done to make sure everything is going well.

Today his chemo hit him hard, the Doc's say that the last couple rounds are hard... they get the sickest. So this morning there was a throw up session, and lots of nausea. So they ended up giving him a new drug.. Atavan. Of which made him high as a kite.. he kept saying he was on a rollercoaster and he saw me with 3 eyes.. he was slurring his words and laughing.. strange sight to see your child high. But i suppose it's better than the wretching of his gut and feeling like he's going to die. At one point he had the blankets over his head and was playing with his stuffed animal friend MAX from Where The Wild Things Are.. they were on an adventure! then Max came out of the blankets naked.. hehe..asked what he was naked he said they went skinny dipping. hehe..

Hopefully the week here will be uneventful!
