Next Steps

Strep test was negative and Eric is recovering well from his cold. He had a biopsy yesterday, and luckily there were only 2 kiddos on the procedure list since he had to go last because of his cold. He was into the procedure room at 10:10 which was great because he was just starting to complain of being hungry. Unusually, he slept for about an hour after. He never does that; always wakes up immediately! Everything went smoothly and now we just wait for results. Eric picked a Lego Dreamzzz set out of the toy chest at the hospital after his biopsy yesterday. 



On Monday, Eric will start his next cycle of chemo. This time, in addition to the 28 day oral chemo, he will also do the 7 day IV. The dr is recommending sprinkling in a couple rounds of the IV chemo the remainder of the year for best results. So he will do it this month and then not have to do it over the summer, assuming everything continues to go as expected. This means Eric won't be at school next week since we will have to drive into the hospital everyday for 7 days. On the plus side, we don't have to stay overnight! 

Luckily it is an exciting week at school this week while Eric is there and next week is just average. Today the class is having a pajama pizza party and Eric is very excited about it! Pic of Eric in his Pikachu pjs below. Tomorrow the class has a field trip for a Drawing Landscapes program.

Clinic Yesterday

Eric and I visited the clinic yesterday. Yes, on a Tuesday! It is not his doctor's regular clinic day, but our Nurse Practitioner had us...
