2nd Phase of Consolidation COMPLETE!!!

Man I am.getting bad for updating the blog. 

Caine has completed Phase 2 of Consolidation.  He made it through with some nausea and vomiting but overall we are happy.  He never become neutrophenic this time...came close at 100 but never did zero out.  We are really happy.

Caine did participate in Halloween this year at both the clinic and with his friends.  I think he enjoyed being a "normal" kid for the day.  He said he got tired but it was worth it.

Caine also took part in his first hockey game on Saturday.  He didn't make it through the whole game but did pretty good overall.

We head back to the clinic tomorrow to see where is levels are at to see if he starts his next round of chemo called Interm Maintenance.  It is supposed to be a lighter round with most kids doing school and sports throughout.  We are looking forward to having something light and a great holiday season.

Slowly but surely we are making our way through this journey.  It has been hard on Caine as he just doesnt get why it happened to him and we have no answers.  He keeps saying he just wants to be normal.  It breaks my heart.
