Hello everyone!
We had our time off and are now back at the hospital since Monday, Oct 27, for round 4.
Zach is doing very well. He came throught the blood infection fine, we finished his antibiotics while at home.
As I said, Zach restarted chemo Monday, continuing the high dose of one and the addition of the new chemo, which he had last night. The last day he also gets his second dose of the experimental chemo. He ran a fever the first day and felt generally awful but it passed and he is now doing well. He started to get a rash as expected, but it also started to go away. The new chemo is blue...smurf blue and it turns his urine green...he thinks its cool.
We will be here longer than we have been this round as this round causes his counts to be lower longer..so we won't be out for Thanksgiving but there are two things: as dr homans said, Zach is Zach...he hasn't done anything as we expected.....and the other thing is we have so much to be thankful for, what better place to celebrate than at the place where he has been getting better.
Halloween is tomorrow and Zach is excited. We have games planned as well as child life planning a fun filled day.
Zach had a great time off. We had some snow, played in fall leaves and carved pumpkins.
