Week 37
Brody is at the hospital for labs and on schedule... he needs blood again due to low hemoglobin.
We got here at 9:30 am and expect to leave about 5 pm... the boys are all here with Bill while Trish gets to work.... we were prepared for the wait and have the wii hooked up to a tiny screen on our portable dvd player, nintendo dsi's, a laptop, dvd movies, netflix, books, etc....
The boys had a good christmas... no complaints anyway...
Typing this from my phone so going to cut this short... looking forward to getting past our last chemo round on week 39.

Week 36
Brody's nausea is persisting... he has managed to keep down some cheerios but he has been getting ativan alternated with zofran every few hours.... he is staying another night in the hospital and hopefully we will get out of here early tomorrow.... while he did have some nausea... he did sleep good last night other then the 2 times he got sick when he woke up to go potty. He is chilling watching a dora vid now and seems fine at the moment.
Hoping he tolerates it better next time....
More later....
Rough time with chemo
Brody has been very sick to his tummy with this chemo round. Threw up multiple times despite aggressive efforts to prevent the nausea. He is usually home by now but right now is still in the hospital until his tummy calms down. He hasn't had any stomach cramps or anything for almost an hour so let's hope we are about to get through this.

Chemo Day Again
Well, it's a big chemo day again. Brody is sitting in infusion room playing Wii Donkey Kong Country Returns with his brother Geordi while getting fluids in preparation of getting his chemo later today.
Hopefully the nausea won't be too bad today.
Brody will stay overnight tonight and into most of the day tomorrow. Brody basically has this 3 week round and one more after that. Just 6 more weeks to go to finish off the chemo. Brody is doing very well and is looking forward to being done with chemo.
Santa came to the Dalton Christmas party
Brody was soooo excited that Santa came to the Dalton Christmas party. He couldn't stop jumping up and down while waiting for his turn to sit on Santa's lap. When Santa asked what he wanted for Christmas, Brody replied, "I don't know." Brody has a "one-track" mind and all he wanted was Hot Wheels Criss Cross Crash which Papaw and Grandma had just given him right before the Dalton Christmas party since we won't see them again until after Christmas. Santa said, "Well, I guess I'll just have to surprise you." Brody said with utter joy, "OK!!"

Blood and platelets
As expected Brody needed blood on monday and platelets today... we are at the hospital waiting for the bag to arrive.... platelets take about an hour to infuse vs blood that takes 3 or 4 hours... so hopefully we won't be here too late... especially since I have a dentist appt at 2.... more later.....
