Grant had a great day at the clinic today. We were only there for an hour....record time! He fussed that he didn't want a poke, but when I told him he had to sit still, he did. It went very smoothly. He got his chemo in his port and then the noodle came out. The worst part of the whole process is having to take the sticky bandage off that they put over it while he is accessed. But, we just go really fast and it doesn't have to last long.
Grant has been taking a daily allergy pill for quite a while. However, this week he has developed a pretty yucky cough. Dr. Heym said that his lungs were clear and otherwise sounded fine. He started his steroids today, so we are hoping they kill 2 birds and help with the cough as well. If not, he will have to go back in for something else. Also, his ANC was back up today and with his growth, Dr. Heym decided to increase one of his chemo doses. So, the methotrexate that he takes once a week will go from 5 pills to 6. Please pray that his body can handle this change and that the steroids help his cough. Thanks for all your prayers!
