This chemotherapy went significantly better for him than any round has ever gone! The doctors believe he has been dehydrated and such, and that was making him even more sick. It's really hard to drink when everything tastes weird because of the chemo medicine.
They were diligent to get him really well hydrated before his chemotherapy, and wouldn't you know it, he barely needed any medications to manage his nausea! He was more awake, eating better, and cracking more jokes with the nurses and staff. It was absolutely amazing and a complete 180 for him.
When Kameron got home, a friend had sent him a cool car Lego, and he was so thrilled. "It's a GTR, mom! A GTR!!" He resolved to complete it before his next round of chemo 3 days later. And this guy, he always meets his goals.....
Today, Kam was seen in the oncology clinic and made counts. He was admitted to the hospital this afternoon to begin week #15 of chemotherapy. Please keep him in prayer as he has developed some mouth sores which make eating painful for him. Otherwise, the other side effects he was managing last week have thankfully gotten a lot better for him.
This past weekend we took the boys and Harley to Julia Davis Park in Boise. I'm not sure how I didn't know this before, but there is an area there all about cancer. We didn't expect to feel so encouraged and seen during our walk. An unexpected blessing and encouragement for all of us.
