Steven is just over an hour away from finishing his bag of chemo from round 15. Then it is a typical methotrexate stay--we will be here until at least Friday morning and possibly until Saturday. So far he is doing okay. He is watching movies in an effort to stave off the nausea. I took his leg down to Shriners after we got here. The prosthetist decided not to make the modification that we had talked about and sent me home with it. It is complicated, but I am happy with the arrangement. Carrying the leg around, I think I got more stares than Steven did walking with it. He got to go to school for a few hours this morning and he wore his leg. He was really happy to be there and it made me sad to take him from school and up to the hospital. He was in the middle of PE and having a grand time. So here we go again! When this is done, he will have just three to go. The end is feeling tangible.

Only three more is sounding awesome. Good luck in the hospital this week.
ReplyDeleteWow! There's a light...I bet that feels surreal! Hoping he recovers quickly from this round and gets back to having fun at school!
ReplyDeleteSee you around at PCMC!
ReplyDeleteI remember a conversation we had many months ago about him getting his leg about the same time he finished up the chemo. At the time it seemed so far away, and look-it is NOW! You almost made it to the finish line...time for a last minute sprint. Then this will all be behind you. You can look back at the Summer of 2011 and see the strength you had. You are a fine family of Superhero's! The Incredibles have NOTHING on the Blodgetts!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for it to be over! Hang in there Steven!
