Round 3 tomorrow

Phase 3 starts tomorrow.  Isaiah will go to Children's Hospital to get two different chemotherapy drugs through his port.  One of them will almost certainly make him sick.  I'm praying that he recovers quickly and can enjoy most of his week.

Blood work didn't go well today.  We were there for hours and then when we finally got home, they called and told us that they used the wrong tube and would have to go back.  Scratch that idea!  I called our nurse at Childrens and she told us that we could just do it there from now on.  We'll just have to make chemo days a longer process.

The chemo isn't prepared until there is confirmation that his blood counts are at a good level.  It takes roughly an hour to get the blood counts back and another couple hours to prepare the chemo.

  1. I have no idea why they weren't make sure the right tube to use for him.
    I hope it will never happen again!!

    It will start tough days for Isaiah and you from tomorrow.
    I'm praying everything is gonna be ok.
    Take care.
