Three Month Check Up


Adam went for his first 3 month imaging tests today. We were at Vandy from 12 to 5. Adam's counts are good and we expect that the MRT, CT scan and bone scan will also be good news. As usual Adam was a trooper and with the help of his ipod he coped well with the initial arm stick and even better with the port flush. He was a little perturbed that he had to get two sticks in a day. Who could blame him?

For the flush we had to wait in the Pediatric Cancer clinic. Just like old times. It seems just like any other medical waiting room now. But I remember back in March how foreign and strange and frigging frightening it was.

When Adam got diagnosed we were initially told that he would be in chemo for one year. If that had been true then he would still be in treatment, bald and out of school. Thank God for the protocol! He is well, hairy and just got his report card (mostly good!).

Adam has anothe Scout trip this weekend. This time they are going to Atlanta and will visit the Aquarium, climb Stone Moutain and go to the Coke Museum. Good times.
