Wow! Day 30 already - how cool is that? Nicholas stayed overnight at Georgetown and received a spinal treatment, and two other new chemos. The overnight was just to keep him hydrated as one of those chemos can do damage to the kidney and liver. We should be out of here soon. This was our last scheduled stay! Whew-Hew! Of course, I can't fool myself into thinking this is our last stay, but it is nice to have this one out of the way. We were really dreading it.
Since Friday, Nicholas has lost pretty much all of his hair. It wasn't as bad as I envisioned it being, but I am sure that anyone who sees him will see it as quite a shock. We were able to watch it happen each day and although it is sad to see, it isn't horrible. His cute smile still shines through.
We did just realize that although this phase has just under 4 weeks left, he really only has treatment for the next two weeks and the last two weeks you just ride the wave and have recovery time. And of those two weeks, the last four days are only taking a low does pill at home. So what that boils down to is that he receives his last big stuff next Saturday - that is only in a week or so! This is big news! Maintenance is just around the corner. This really puts a skip in our step.
