This past weekend was really nice. Jace and I went back to Corpus for the weekend. Its so nice to be home, but so hard to leave again. We got to do alot this weekend though. Friday night in Corpus Christi was the Relay For Life which was FUN! Jace had a blast!!! Here are some pictures of him. He literally RAN around the outside of the baseball field at the Hooks stadium twice during the survivor walk. He had a great time waving to all the people in the stands. It was definitely a great night for him.

We met with the Drs again today. The cream the radiologist gave us last week is working great on the burns on the back of Jaces neck and back. The results now look like the end of a really bad sunburn. He is telling me it itches alot, which is good cause that means the skin is healing. I just keep applying the cream to keep it from bothering him. He is still getting the radiation on the top of his head, so those burns are still fresh. But I am applying the cream there and hopefully they will heal just as quickly. 27 down…..7 more to go!! Can you believe it already???
The Oncologist is pleased that Jace’s counts have all come up out of the danger zones. The blood transfusion last week did what it was supposed to. His energy and appetite were both rejuvenated as we can tell from the growth charts. He is now weighing in at around 34 lbs and 38 inches tall. A few, including his platelets are still kind of low, but nothing they are concerned with right now. All of them are making their way up.
Right now the plan is to finish up here and then head home for all the follow up MRIs and reports. They are talking about taking a two week break between this treatment (radiation and chemo) and then possibly starting a new chemo treatment right away. This is all based on what the two Oncologists agree on and is still with the implication that there is a recurrence. We will just have to wait to hear from our Oncologist at home, what they decide on that. It also might depend on the follow up MRI and how quickly they get those results after treatment.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and comments. All of your support is what keeps us going here. I appreciate it so much!!!
God Bless
Have a great week!
