Good week

Brody has continued to feel ok. He is still very finicky about food but has been eating relatively well for what he does agree to eat.

He got his labs and IV chemo on friday and his labs came back pretty good. He only got 1 drug on friday and it was a push (injected into his port at one time) rather then infused over time. He then had to get IV fluids for a little while after. The result was him only having to be at the hospital about 2 1/2 hours total rather then the 4+ hours the previous week (and what he has to do this coming Friday).

Other then that, very uneventful week (other then some thunderstorms on saturday night)-- boys have been playing alot and we Grandma and Grandpa and Trish's Grandma visit on Saturday and then Uncle Dan (Trish's brother) on Sunday.

Once again we will be homeschooling the boys. This is necessary in our case not only for Brody but because we don't want Geordi and Jaden bringing home every bug from school and getting Brody sick.. While Brody's immune system should not be as depressed under this chemo, it can still be dangerous for him to get the flu or whatnot and if he does get a fever he needs to be admitted to the hospital (we try to stay away from hospitals when we can avoid it).  We are looking at starting up our home schooling soon-- yes cutting summer short. Our plan is to hit it hard Mondays thru Thursdays and then take Fridays thru Sundays off (other then reading) since Brody will be doing Chemo on Fridays if he stays on schedule.

 Homeschooling the boys is alot of work (takes time) but is fun also and you get to spend extra time with the boys. We did this the year before last (when Brody was treated the first time). Geordi did 2nd Grade at home and Jaden did Kindergarten.... both boys were ahead in most subjects when they went back to public school last year. Geordi was a bit behind in writing- as Whitehouse Primary school taught cursive writing in 2nd grade and we didn't do this.... but both boys were well ahead in math and reading.

Not much else to report-- no news is generally good news for us.

More later...
