I can’t lie. I’m glad it’s gone. Maybe someday I’ll look back on lessons learned, but not today. We are moving on. The good news is Jace has had his best week yet. Since his chemo treatment December 28th, Jace hasn’t been very sick at all. His new anti-nausea medicine is working (Thank you Dr. Hancock!), and he has eaten normally for a week. Jace also had high enough numbers to get out of the house a little.
His hair was getting bad again though- fuzzy and stringy, so we had our own head shaving party. We decided not to put the whole gang through the misery this time. Although Matt and Hayden literally shaved their heads with a razor, Jace didn’t have to. It took about one minute to whisk off the hair he still had, and his scalp is baby smooth.
We have a week of peace ahead of us, and then we’ll be back at Primary Children’s Hospital. We are FINISHED with phase #3, and we are ready for #4. It’s been almost 4 months since Jace was first diagnosed, and 3 ½ months ago I didn’t know we’d make it this far. Look at us now—actually, look at Jace now. Isn't he cute? Here we go… 2010.
