I didn’t know if I should mark this as a good day or bad day. We had moments of each. Probably more good than bad.
Over the past couple of days, his left leg has been “dropped”. It doesn’t really hurt him per say, but it just drags when he walks. Today he really seemed depressed about it and kept crying because he “can’t run” and was having a hard time walking up and down the stairs. This is a side effect from Vincristine, but we still need to bring it up with the doctors tomorrow at his appointment. I hope it isn’t something that will last after he is off the medicine, but we have read that sometimes physical therapy helps it.
We head to the hospital for the final treatment of the Interim Maintenance phase. After tomorrow, we have a two week break before the rough phase starts. I guess they want to give his body a little time to heal before they start beating it down again.
Today he was into all of my hair ties… looks like he is ready to workout.

He will be on the maintenance side before you know it! It is like nothing compared to the other phases! Enjoy the break Owen! Hope to see you soon. Jake loved your visit to school.
