Today is Day 4 of the 4 Day chemo infusion so we are very happy. Sam will finish chemo tonight at about 6 pm and will follow with a 24-hour infusion of fluids to flush his system.
Sam has been a superstar through this. He’s subsisting on a diet of buttered raisin toast and water since that is the only thing he wants to eat. We have tried EVERYTHING but that’s all he will eat so that is his daily menu.
We were in the middle of “The Empire Strikes Back” when we fell asleep last night. As I mentioned earlier, he loves Star Wars so I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re dressed as Jedi Knights during Halloween.
Next Saturday is Celebration of Champions which is the Children’s/San Diego fundraising event for child-life issues on the hematology/oncology floor. Sam and the other kids undergoing treatment along with kids who have finished treatment have a big party downtown on the San Diego Bay at the Embarcadero. Later that night, the kids get to be on the field prior to the Padres game – Ryan Klesko has purchased 400 tickets for this event and donated them to the kids. Sam will LOVE this almost as much as his mom will since one parent will be able to go down on the field with him, and that parent will be Mom.
So, all’s well in the land of TeamSam today and we hope/pray that it continues forever. Thanks for everything – Neil
