Save Jace

We just got back in the room from Jace receiving his 4th and final (for this session) treatment of methotrexate.  This is the chemo that is administered directly into his head via Needle into his Ommaya Reservoir.  This is the thing that was put into his head surgically thsi past Thursday!  It is working fine.  The Oncologist is Happy and I actually saw him crack a smile and the Neurologist was happy with the CAT Scan that Jace had on Friday as far as his placement of the Reservoir.

This has been an interesting 8 days!  Not so many ups and downs as the first time around, but I think Jace is getting used to everything that he is having to go through from the Blood Pressure check, to having a needle stuck in his head!

Last week was really neat also as you know from the photos with the Sea World Animals, Corpus Christi Hooks Players and Rusty, as well as photo with Miss Rodeo Texas 2006, and he also got to meet Izzy the Islander Mascot but wouldn’t take a photo with him!

As I sat here typing, the Oncologist came in one last time and said that he was very very pleased with this admission!  The other day he even said “I am now slightly Optimistic… I shouldn’t be saying that, but I am” as he smiles! 

So all in all, Things are going very well.  The visit was great (long, but great) and things went as planned.  We will go home and watch the usual things (blood counts, fever, etc.) and then we will prepare ourselves for the 3rd session!

As usual THANK YOU THANK YOU for ALL THOSE POWERFUL PRAYERS!!!!  He’s doing as Great as can Be and is actually doing better than the doctor expected, so we can’t ask for much more!

Jace and I are gonna make like Hippies and Blow This Joint!  WE’RE GOING HOME!!!!!!  Thank you all again for everything that you do!
