Save Jace

Its been awhile.  The last week has been another great up week!  Jace’s spirits are back and his personality beams at me with every word he says.  Aside from the rapid hair loss, you couldnt tell anything was wrong with this little guy!  I don’t think I have ever been on a more jilting rollar coaster in life than this one. The difference in just days is so drastic that my emotions and mind is on overload.  It just goes to show you though how truly amazing children are.  I know mine is!

So we are ending the first cycle of chemotherapy now.  He bounced up pretty quickly from that first round.  He got the last shot of Vincristine last Monday and it didn’t seem to affect him much at all.

Daddy is staying at home with Jace now, so that eases a little of my mind.  It makes it easier to be at work, but still hard to be away.  I guess on the face of the planet, if its not me taking care of my baby, who better than his dad, right?

His blood counts are way back up to almost normal this week.  We got the clearance to take him out but the excellent news is we get to have a birthday party!!!  I’m so excited for this as we were really worried that it would either be in the hospital or it wouldnt be at all.  But the doc says no go ahead.  We are planning it for the 21st.

The schedule right now is back in the hospital for round 2 on April 23rd.  My assumption is that they will do another MRI that morning before they start the chemo so they can get a picture of where we stand.  PRAY BIG and PRAY HARD that the first round of chemo shrunk this thing.  We are ready for some POSITIVE news.

I’m so hopeful and I pray that I am not setting myself up for a let-down.  I will try to write more, as I have been really busy trying to get back in the swign of work, catch up on home stuff, and keep going with all the things I’m supposed to be on top of.  I think some of my sanity is…well I wouldnt say back to normal…I would just say….I guess its more organized.

Thank you God for toddler tummy laughs!!!
God Bless!
