Jack had clinic this morning so our wonderful neighbor watched Braden while Nikki, Jack, and I went over to Phoenix Childrens.  Jack’s counts (ANC, hemoglobin, and platelets) all came back great and they told us that his chemistry counts were not only good, they were great!!  So good to hear!  We got the shots that he will be starting tomorrow for round 3 of immunotherapy.  He will get shots here on Friday, Sat, and Sun and then we will be giving it to him all week while he is getting the antibody.  I am a little nervous for round 3 since round 2 was so awful, but hopefully it will be a bit easier this time. 

We also scheduled his scans and they will be on February 15th and 16th.  His bone scan and injection for his MIBG scan will be on Tuesday the 15th and his CT of his chest and MIBG will be on Wednesday.  They will also be doing a hearing test while he is under.  The girls in radiology called Dr Maze and he will be there for both days of Jack’s scans so that’s great!  Jack hasn’t seen him since he visited us in round 1 of immunotherapy so it will be great to see him and know that Jack is in good hands while he is under for his scans. 

Although his scans aren’t for a couple of weeks, starting praying now that he has great results!  We are hoping for more clear scans and for him to be NED again!!!!!

I went out last night with a friend of mine, Jaime, for dinner and it was so great to see her and be able to catch up on everything.  She has been very supportive throughout this entire year and I appreciate it so very much.  Thanks Jaime!!!!
