Hunter Update
Monday and Thursday were days up at Doernbecher for Hunter. Monday he got to three chemos. One in his spine, Methatrexate and two through his IV, Vincristine and Doxorubicin. Thursday he got another chemo. It's his study drug, PEG Aspergenise. Hunter is also taking a steroid, Dexamethasone for seven days. Then seven days off. Then seven days on. His appetite has increased from being on the steroids. He has been feeling good during this first wave. In fact his ANC went up from 1.6 on Monday to 2.3 on Thursday. That's great so they have that much further to drop with all the chemo he's getting. Hunter is definitely someone I look up to. He is a great example of patience and long suffering. What a kid!!
One night last week Hunter started walking around looking like this. He was in such a great mood.

Yay Hunter! You are my hero, keep on being strong!
PS - that's a nice look for you, Hunter. :)
Love it!!!! Joseph takes Dexamethasone when his asthma flares. We like this steroid so much better than the stuff he used to get. Much less side effects and it seems to clear his lungs quicker.
