Day 215: Round 4 (Last For This Phase)

Today we kicked off the last dose of chemo for this phase in Cristian’s treatment and what will hopefully be our last admission to the hospital! We arrived at the hospital this morning for blood work, and once that came back within required levels we began moving forward with treatment.

A part of this treatment Cristian will be admitting to the hospital for approximately 2 days. As part of the admission he had to take a Covid test. Thankfully the test came back negative and we will take another tomorrow to confirm. From the hospital perspective Cristian is still Covid positive until he has two consecutive negative tests. We haven’t tested him in several weeks, so it will be nice to have this part officially behind us.

So far this has been an easy episode for Cristian and he remains in high spirits. He is up and about playing in the room and overall in a happy mood!

Now we wait for the chemo dose to be complete and then start the medicine to get it out of his system. Because Cristian had the mouth sores on the last dose, we are going to give him more of the medication that helps his body get rid of the chemo. We want to do whatever we can to avoid seeing Cristian in pain from mouth sores again.

We look forward to getting out of here on Thursday and having everyone back home before the weekend. We thank God every day for everything he is doing for Cristian and our family. We thank you all for the continued support and prayers.
