Joey comes home tonight after being admitted since Wednesday. This round of chemo was tougher for him--but, we heard that would be the case. He was a real trouper as always. He was still able to play with his new friends on the floor, Ben and Tristan. They are 6 and 9, respectively, and Joey thinks he is a dude when he runs with the big guys. He wasn't able to keep much in the way of food/drink down. This is due to one of the chemo meds which is famous for nausea. It should be out of his system by Tuesday--We just have to push what fluids we can until then. The amazing thing is how well he recovers. He will have an episode of vomiting and go right back to playing a video game. We don't make a big deal of it, and neither does he. He is truly our champ! We will follow-up on Wednesday of this week to check his blood counts. We should be home 2 weeks following this--then, round 4. St. Jude's will follow round 4. Love to all. We'll keep you updated.
