Chemo - Day 1

We could tell that we were covered in prayer today, Max did an amazing job getting through a long day. We left for the hospital at 7am this morning and didn't get home until 7:30pm, Max sat still on our laps during the whole infusion and even had enough energy to flirt with his nurses and keep us entertained with smiles and kisses.

He even got a personal visit with Seahawks football player Craig Terrill and a Seagal and a personally autographed poster from several football players and a bunch of seahawk gear.

They monitored his vital signs every 15-30 minutes and he had no reactions the whole day. They were also able to get him IV fluids today which will make tomorrow easier. Tomorrow will be a much longer day and hopefully we can get through it all without having to be admitted to the hospital.

Another prayer request is for patience as we deal with the hospital and our insurance company. As Max was getting setup this morning we got word that there was a glitch and our insurance company wouldn't cover Max's treatments, we got confirmation this afternoon that our insurance denied our claims to cover Max's clinical trials. Hopefully we can make some progress tomorrow as we navigate the complicated appeals process and search for a new insurance case manager.

Thanks for all the support and prayers today, keep them coming!
