Tests, tests and more tests

***monday Today was totally nonstop! We went from doing fairly well this morning to being rushed into a string of tests and procedures and surgery the rest of the day.

A little fun

Kai had been doing well for a few days. I have been able to back off of some of his pain meds (oxycodone) and eventually started pooping on his own (without the use of a suppository)! He has been tolerating a bit of food each day and has been awake and alert most of the… Continue reading A little fun

Having chemo every other week really feels like we have some time to live a little bit of a normal life. …but since we still spent 4 days at children’s hospital in the past two weeks I don’t think our definition of normal life is very normal….

Kai did surprisingly well after his treatment last week. His cold cleared up and no vomiting this week!
