Having successfully completed round 15 of the more harsh chemo on Friday morning, Christopher takes a well deserved break with Jake!The week went relatively smooth as far as chemo goes. He even saw the surgeon who put the screws in his hip and got the OK to move forward with the fitting of the prosthesis. He was "casted" on Tuesday, right before being admitted to Wolfson's and should have a trial leg in a week or so! It will only be a temporary fitting to make sure the measurements are correct, and about 2 weeks after that he will have a new leg! Finally!! He is so looking forward to the day he can ditch the crutches.
Today we went to the Jacksonville Jaguar's football game, compliments Defensive End, Quentin Groves. Along with the tickets came field passes so we had the privilege of getting up close and personal with the players. Many thanks to Quentin and his peeps for making this such a special and fun experience. And believe it or not the Jags won!
And it looks like they weren't the only ones to do some scoring... :p
This week Chris starts physical therapy to begin to strengthen his leg and work on balance.
If all goes well, i.e. we stay out of the fever zone, he will go to school as much as possible and only have to visit the clinic for blood work. He is doing very well, in great spirits and we are both looking forward to a week at home!
Keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming. 3 more rounds to go!!
With much love, Patty
