Today was Alex's 7th treatment and it went smoothly. It seems like they've figured out all the little tricks to keep his airway clear. He has a wonderful group of people taking care of him each morning. They help make sure he's happy going in which makes for an easier session. He was wide awake before we even got to the recovery room. As usual, he got a bag of Doritos.Alex also likes to turn the light off from the control on his bed while the nurse is trying to write notes. Another trick he likes to play is to hold his breath while they are checking his heart rate and oxygen and try to throw off the numbers. What a clown! Physically he feels ok, other than getting tired easily. In the next few days they will be increasing his radiation dose which will take more out of him. This and the temodar (the oral chemo) will weaken his immune system. We hope he can avoid infections as much as possible for the duration of his treatment. His life has changed and he wonders why it has happened to him as we all do. But he is strong and will fight. As always, we are so appreciative of everyone's prayers, support and donations. Alex truly has an army of angels looking out for him and his family. Thank you all.
Way to be strong Alex. Keep fighting!
