Sorry for the delay in an update!  So Andrew was released on Thursday with an “ok” bill of health.  He now only has one nose hose – the feeding tube, which had to be replaced on Tuesday since he threw the other one up at school on Monday.  He has gained 7 pounds since he was admitted to the hospital last month, all this weight cased us some issues with his port.  We were unable to get it to flush and kept reaccessing to no avail, the good thing was it was just that we needed a longer needle – phew!!!  We went to the doctor today and his blood counts look pretty good and we are on track to get chemo on Monday.  This is number 8 of 9!!!!!  Only one more to go after that, we can hardly wait!  He has started counseling to help him cope with all that has been happening to him.  He is trying so hard to get through things, but has been having a lot of breakdowns and gets upset very easily.  His poor sister, Taylor, only needs to open her mouth and he is ready to attack her.  Bless her heart she is so understanding and is doing all she can to try to help him not be mad at her.  Thank you for all the support and kind words, and I will update soon.
