It is done, over, finshed!!!!
Jordy is doing well . . . just a little queasy. It has been great having staff, other parents, and patients stopping by to congratulate Jordy regarding the end of his chemo. Although it is VERY exciting, there is also a sense of loss that comes along with leaving our home away from home for the past eight months. That said, we are so excited to be finished.
We have much more exciting things to be doing!
Jordy also heard from the Children's Cancer Association. As part of their "Life Support" program they grant wishes, similar to Make-a-wish. Jordy's wish is to fix up his Mitsubishi. He loves that car because it is the first car that he bought, and he worked hard on a farm to earn the money Bev told us that a body shop will be painting the car. She will give us more details as they come. One of Jordy's goals in life has been to have a vehicle that is not "cosmetically challenged." Now there is hope.
Tomorrow Terry, the man who donated the Blazer's tickets, is coming to visit Jordy and see "the shoes." He may also bring someone from Nike.
Susan, the Child Life Specialist, also had some good news for Jordy. With at donation, she purchased a WII Fit for the unit. She is going to let Jordy try it out first. Tomorrow when he is feeling a little better, he will put on his prosthesis and give it a try.
Bryan, the social worker, came by for a visit. He asked Jordy if he would want to talk to a 16 year old girl with Osteosarcoma that is just starting treatment. He is very willing to share his experience and reassure her.
Jordy's kidney levels continue to slowly, but steadily improve. We are hoping they kick the Methatrexate out quick.
