Halfway

We are halfway through the "INDUCTION" period. We go into clinic tomorrow to get additional chemo through his IV, conduct a bone marrow aspirate and a spinal tap. The spinal tap will tell if any of the cancer is in his brain or spinal fluid. They will replace what they take out with am equal portion of chemo. This will either kill the cancer or keep it at bay. The bone marrow aspirate will let us know if he is in remission. They will again put Jake under sedation but not under. He should not remember what happened to him. This is good for him.

It will be a long day for Jake since he won't get to eat anything from 6:30 AM until he is done with his procedure which should be around 1:30 or 2 PM. I only say this because being on steriods makes you VERY hungry.

Please stay tuned on Friday. I will post as soon as possible to let you all know if he is in remission. I hope we have great weather this Sunday so we can take him to the Zoo. Pray for Jake and good weather on Sunday.
