Blue Thunder...ick!!!

Not much to report. Still in the hospital and still alone. My Mom and Cameron will be back this Saturday. Caden is finishing up the chemo drug referred to as "Blue Thunder". We had his anti-nausea meds increased so he has done very well in that area. He is eating a little bit, but he could be doing better there. So far the most noticeable side effects are his mood swings and he is losing his eyelashes and eyebrows. After he is done with the Blue Thunder then he has a dose of the test study drug. This drug has been tested in adults with AML and it has helped them from relapsing. So now they are trying this drug in children with AML and Caden was chosen as a candidate. Hopefully this drug will keep the Leukemia from coming back. He had a dose in the first round and now he will have another this round. It seems like I have been here a year, it's hard to believe that it's only been four months, and a few more to go. Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers.
