Schools out and we are ready for summer! Gentry had his weekly lab draw yesterday and we learned about our new round of chemo that he will be starting next week. It is all oral, 6 1/2 pills every 6 hours for 24 hours. Basically he will have his lab drawn every Tuesday. Then on Wed. I have to call to check on his blood counts and as long as his numbers look good then we start the chemo on Wed. nights. He will get 6 1/2 pills at 6 pm, midnight, 6 am Thurs. mornings and noon on Thursdays. Then Friday at 6 pm and Sat. 6 am he will get his "rescue" drug that stops the chemo. We have been taking it ever

y time we have chemo and without it his organs will start shutting down. Everything is very time regimented. The pills can be chewed or even crushed up and put in something so that should help since getting a 3 year old to take 1 pill is hard but 6 1/2 at one time would be impossible. He has been feeling pretty good but is still hit or miss on eating and sleeping but not having any problems expressing his anger!!! At least he has a fighting spirit. I put on a picture of him with his very last backpack chemo treatment and one of him cooking for me with his kitchen. Brooks is doing great and getting the hang of eating with a spoon. He has a checkup and shots next week. He is a big boy! Loves to eat all the time. We don't have anything big planned this summer. Just going to hang out and relax. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
