Chemo Day

3 chemo treatments done, 11 more to go. Jordan did great at his all day chemo session yesterday. If he had to be there, it went as well as possible. We had a super nice nurse who took care of him really well and the childlife specialist did great at distracting him during the traumatic stuff. The highlight for Jordan was a visit from his friend Liz. She knows Jordan lasts a short time with regular toys, then he wants to play with the nurse call light, the iv cord, the stethaschope, anything that looks contraband to him. Liz strategically packed her purse full of interesting items from home like dental floss, little boxes, bottles to shake, etc. and set it on his bed. He thought he had hit the jackpot dumping everything out. It took care of the final stretch and his neighbor got a break from the annoying Elmo toys. He seems to be feeling pretty good today. We'll have to start giving him shots again to keep his immune system strong, but so far his blood counts haven't dropped during the critical times so please pray that will again be the case. I was looking forward to maybe getting out of the house today after such a long day in the hospital but we are again Snowed In!
