Zonked!

This round of chemo seems to have gotten the best of Grant - he has been one sleepy guy since yesterday's dose of Vincristine.  During the past two days, he has been awake for only brief periods of time - 45 minutes, at best.  Although the chemo may have gotten the best of him physically, it has not diminished his spirit.  He's still a happy and chatty little boy when he's awake!

At clinic yesterday, I was able to find out a bit more about Grant's course of treatment.  After the 10 rounds in this phase, he'll have only a 3-week break before resuming chemo again (duration of next phase tbd).  The follow-up MRI will occur soon after the tenth round, and we're still hoping for a 'no growth' result for Phase One.  The Oncologist we saw yesterday [from St. Louis - - Ladue Horton Watkins:) - - answering the typical StL question of 'Where did you go to high school?'] did mention that Grant's type of tumor usually responds better to chemo than the lower grade, but she still advised that 'no growth' is considered a successful result for Phase One.  Praying and hoping.....I have all of the confidence in the world in my little Champ!

So tired!

Playing with interlocking rings - despite
the 'rolling' of his eyes, he's able to reach
and track the toys pretty well.

Playtime's over.  Ready to go back to sleep.
