Day 2 of Treatment

Our spinal tap results came back negative of cancer! This means he will have less intense treatment.

We are on trial. As parents, we have to get Jake to take his chemo pills in order for us to go home. Keep in mind that he is only 21 months old. Mark and I tried to give him liquid form, but Jake refuses since it tastes so bad. We crushed up the pills and gave it to him in chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, apple pie and m&m's. He is starting to not trust his food so we stopped that.

We finally sat down with him and told him he had to take his pills in order for us to go home. He took the pill and put it in his mouth and spit it back out! I love him for trying. We are force feeding him the pills now and holding his nose with a shot of water. It isn't what we want to do but works. I hope he gets used to it.

Jake is taking the chemo very well so far. They said that the steroids will make him crazy, moody and mean. We're ready.
