Gearing up for round 2

 Whew.... it’s been a minute. Coming home felt so good for everyone. We quickly were thrown back into reality of getting the big kids off to school each day,  baseball, paying bills, running errands, and doing the “normal” mom and dad duties. We also were able to find some time to get adjustments, and massages too!  Oh and going to bed early.

Jackson has had an awesome few days. Although he wasn’t able to have many visitors he got to do some of his favorite things. Like going on a bike ride, going to the car wash (it’s his favorite) and helping with the yard work.

He slept well, ate like a champ and hasn’t been in any pain. It was so awesome seeing him back to his goofy self!

We had the in-home nurse come Thursday to draw labs and his ANC was still only at 240 so as hard as it was to keep him away from everyone we felt it was best. The doctors reminded us about the high risk of his immunity being so low and how just a common cold, flu or pneumonia is deadly for him. We didn’t want to risk it and have him be put back into isolation. We fell strongly that getting to go play and go outside is the best thing for him.

We are back in Indy tonight as Jackson has early morning appointments for labs, tests, bone marrow biopsy and his spinal tap with chemo treatment in The spine. As of now we are scheduled to go back home tomorrow and check back in on Friday May 10th for round 2. But things change each day so we will know for sure tomorrow.

Please pray with us as we pray for his bone marrow to be clear of any cancer cells. We are praying for complete remission and no sign of that evil disease. This waiting period of not knowing if the cancer is gone or not has been so hard.  Trying to keep the voices out of my head with all the What ifs... is challenging. So we pray and pray some more!

We will keep you all posted on how his procedure goes tomorrow and the results when we know!

As always ~ thank you for your love and support through this journey!
