Chemo - Round 6

We turned Max's hospital room into party central today! Who knew chemo day could be so fun.  Max and Molly officially turned 2 and we had deliveries of fun gifts, food, balloons, friends and family all day.  Molly and Maddie even made it up for a visit to share a birthday lunch together. The oncology infusion staff had a big bag full of presents waiting for him this morning to celebrate his birthday. Even though we had a full day of apointments, chemo, and lots of fun  - he was still able to slip a little nap in. 

We got the next few week's worth of oncology appointments scheduled today, including his next CT scan, his 6 month neuropsych test, and his next IVIG treatment.   He will continue to get infusions of this blood product to wash his blood and get rid of the nasty antibodies for the next couple years. We are also going to try to taper the steroids a little slower starting today. While you may think that having chemo in the hospital on your birthday may not be fun, it will sure be a memorable day for our family and a milestone in Max's journey. We are all very excited to be done with the chemo portion of his treatment and trusting in the Lord for the future.

The final chemo -  celebrating as a family at the hospital!
