Celebrating Great Things!

2/18
It is a GREAT evening!
Jordy was able to start his chemo tonight. They hooked him up to the Methatrexate about six o'clock. This means that by ten he will be officially done with his chemo. No more "kool-aid" in his IV. The doctors have decided to up his fluids a little to hopefully speed up the excretion process. We are hoping to go home on Sunday. It seems so odd to think that we will not be coming back for more chemo.
The staff has been very excited about the end of Jordy's treatment. He has had several nurses stop by just to congratulate him. They know that not all families are as lucky as we are.
Tomorrow night the man who donated the Blazer tickets is going to visit Jordy. He really wants to talk to Jordy and see "the shoes". That reminds me. . . Jordy (and unfortunately I) may be on the radio! Each year 95.5 in Portland does a radio-a-thon in March. They were interviewing patients and their parents. They wanted to hear about Jordy's trip to the Blazer game. I don't think Jordy or I are great radio material, but we will see.
Jordy has pretty bad mouth sores, but other than that things seem ok. He is just ready to be done, even if the sores get worse. At least this is the last of the poison!
Enjoy the sunshine and celebrate a little for Jordy!
