Sorry it's been a little while since our last post. Brody is having a good day today and has been eating better this week. Brody went in for labs and chemo this past Monday. Turned out his hemoblobin was really low and Brody needed another blood transfusion. He spent Tuesday getting the transfusion. It has helped Brody's energy level tremendously. I think this was his 4th transfusion so far. Today we played on our swing set and then Brody and I went to Maumee Bay State Park. There is bike trail there next to the Lake Erie shore. Brody rode his new bike there while I jogged along behind him. It has been a beautiful, warm sunny day. We both got our exercise in today and when we got back home we both took a much needed short nap.
Geordi and Jaden are both sick with a cold this week and have been at Grandma and Papaws all week. Sounds like they are both getting better and will hopefully be able to come home soon. Brody (and Mommy and Daddy) really miss them. Brody, Geordi, and Jaden fortunately all understand that it is very important that nobody sick be around Brody right now. But of course it's still tough on all of us that simple colds have separated us all right now.
Brody will be getting another CT scan on Monday. Brody has had his current nephrostomy tube in for more than 30 days and typically they need replaced within 30 days. The scan on Monday will help the doctors decide if they need to replace his tube or if they can just pull it if the tumor has shrunk enough that he doesn't need it anymore. If it turns out that it needs replaced again then Brody will have to go under ansthesia again for the surgical procedure.
Well Brody says he's hungry. Better feed him.
