We went to the doctor yesterday for Andrew’s in and out chemo.  He did well during the appointment and was cracking jokes the whole time.  However, he lost one pound from Friday to Monday, not good.  He is throwing up a lot more with this round.  We are hoping a new medication patch behind the ear will help and we can get his weight under control.  If by Thursday his eating does not improve we might have to put a feeding tube in his abdomen.  It is safer than the IV nutrients he was getting before, less likely to cause an infection, and allows his digestive tract to be used.  He is keeping up with his school work, and looking forward to watching Mom get her head shaved so is telling everyone about it.  We will try to do a webcast later this week.  Thank you so much everyone who is supporting us in thought, body, and spirit.
