Once again, sorry for the lack of updates. We have all been very busy and seem to be tired alot-- we aren't used to the early schedule.
Brody has done well with the Verced for his radiation therapy-- it makes him a bit loopy but very co-operative... He has now completed 15 sessions and has 8 to go.
He had his 3 drug round of chemo last monday and did well again managing his nausea... especially since his radiation therapy causes it too. We were in a bit of a conundrum this past week... the Vincristine for his chemo causes constipation while the radiation therapy causes diarhea... for Brody at least, the radiation therapy wins in this head to head battle... although the vincristine helped lessen the severity of it.
He hasn't had much of an appetite lately-- but has been good about taking all his meds (after a bit of a fight for every one to stress out mom and dad).
We have been managing some dips in the pool and a few trips out to Maumee Bay State park among other things-- so it hasn't been all treatment.
Geordi and Jaden are getting ready to start their home schooling-- we signed them up with TRECA digital academy... and it is done online with the aid of a printer and scanner-- they were provided with loaner computers (Macs) and each a printer and scanner... they are both excited to start but I'm sure that will wear off soon... waiting for a few ethernet cables to arrive--- they have taken over our office for now.
Really, thats about it for now... we are patiently waiting for the radiation therapy to be over
That verced is a wonder drug. When jen had surgery they called it "happy juice". Glad radiation almost over. Really glad to see him out and about. I tell all my co-workers how Brody is doing and they are in awe of him.
