Brody laying on our Beagle Tori.

Brody (and us) had a good weekend. No major issues to report-- he felt ok and his tumor feels "slightly" smaller. I (Bill) had to work this past weekend. Trish and the boys went and saw the latest Ice Age movie and Brody enjoyed it alot. It has continued to be relatively warm so the boys have been staying inside mostly-- which means alot of video games, movies, and TV shows (mostly on Netflix).

Brody has continued to eat ok-- he seems to get enough food into him but as mentioned before, the chomo makes things taste weird so he is very particular about what he eats-- he has been on a Totinos pizza roll kick lately-- but discovered he likes them alot better if made in the toaster oven rather then the microwave-- might have to purchase a small one for the next hospital stay (ours is pretty big). He likes breakfast hot pockets-- particularly the bacon but will pick most of the bacon pieces out of it. It has been a struggle to get different foods into him.

A typical food conversation....

Brody: "I'm hungry"
Mom or Dad: "What do you want?"
Brody: "I don't know"
Mom or Dad: "How about _______"
Brody (getting mad or upset): "Nooooo"
Mom or Dad: "How about_______"
Brody (getting mad or upset): "Nooooo"
--repeat-- til we finally suggest something he likes-- which can take a while...

He will typically get full relatively fast.... Our go to foods lately... pizza rolls, lucky charms, breakfast hot pockets, pop sickles, mashed potatoes with lots of butter and salt and pepper, hash browns from McDonalds, Pizza from Little Ceasars or Marcos (a local chain), pop corn.

Not a lot left to report. Brody is at Hospital with Trish right now getting labs done. Will see if he is recovered enough to start the next Chemo round...

More later...
