Pretty uneventful week. Brody's side pain has persisted but is not to frequent. As Trish mentioned the CT showed the tumor to be looking the same. Brody seems to have recovered from his C. diff infection-- he had some persistant diarhea but it has subsided and we are back to giving him Miralax to keep his stools soft as it can be painful to pass them if they are too hard.
Brody's weight is up to almost 44 pounds now-- he was down to less then 40 a few months ago and his appetite is pretty good most of the time although he is still kind of finicky... he had me bring him a McD's cheeseburger with fries for dinner yesterday and he chased these with 2 pieces of french toast (ate it all).
To try and increase his nutrient intake Trish bought a good juicer last week-- Brody seems to like to make the juice but doesn't care to drink it too much-- everyone else loves it-- I think it might be more of the "pulp" in the juice (texture) rather then the taste of it. Hopefully it will grow on him. We have explained to him that drinking it can help him fight the cancer so he has been drinking it anyway.
Thats pretty much it... we have been continuing to homeschool the boys and other then a few behavioral hiccups-- all is going pretty well with that... There is actually quite a few educational videos on Netflix that we have been utilizing to help supplement our science and history.
Star Trek and Braveheart don't count!
