Cooper got up at 6 a.m. today and had a good breakfast of pancakes, bacon, juice and milk. Good thing because he wasn't to eat anything after 6:30.
We got to the clinic and he did another hearing test and he hears very well. I will remember that.
Then he had another CT scan of his head to see how his brain was recovering from the surgery.
We got the report back that all is looking good. The report had a lot of technical stuff but the doctor explained that there was no bleeding, no excess fluid, and the size of things looked good. Plus they gave us a copy of the report so I take that as a sign things are pretty good.
He then went to the Oncology Clinic where they did a Lumbar Punture to get some spinal fluid for testing. Also while there a PICC line was put into his arm. This is a central line that that will use to administer the Chemo drugs. There was a lot of anxiety on all of our parts during this but it all went very well. Cooper was relieved. I must say though - he did much better and is much tougher than me.
We are now in a room and the first round of Chemo is being adminstered. He is doing well and is in very good spirits, watching a skateboarding video.
Keep the prayers going - they are working!
with love

Dear Vocelka's: Thank you for keeping us posted. I have been praying for you all day long and glad to hear the procedures went well. Hey! Here is something to look forward to...Now, it may seem too much right now, but keep it mind when you are ready and I would love to help grant his wish. When Cooper is ready, let me know and we will contact the Make-a-Wish foundation. It is the next best thing to Santa and all your wishes will come true. So, be thinking about that and it may help this time go better. Will you be staying at CMH during most of your treatments?
