Chemo in Abilene
Updates on Jack
Chemo in Abilene is definate. Only one place in Abilene gives chemo to kids, it is a satellite office from Cook's Children's hospital in Ft. Worth. We notified Dr. Bowers we did not want Jack to participate in a clinical trial by email on Tuesday night and got an email back from him stating he would contact the oncologist at Cook's who is overseeing the chemo delivery here in Abilene. The nurse who delivers the chemo does so on Thursdays, so I am not sure if we will start today, highly unlikely as I haven't heard from her. So a week from today could be the start date.
Jack's eyes are not giving him any trouble, he still wears his sunglasses day and night. He definately doesn't like the antibiotic drops, 3 times a day, for 5 days, about 3 days left. All of the kids are slumber partying in the living room together. I think that Jack likes to have his brother and sister within arms reach at night. The port is bandaged so we haven't seen the incision sight and wont until tomorrow when we are supposed to remove the dressing. The bump under his skin is not as pronounced as I thought it would be, it is more of a lump than a bump.
This note is to the Southern Hills family - I just want to say thank you so much for all the love you give Jack and us when we are at church, and not at church. We love you.
