The last round of chemo went fairly well. The cisplatin and the cytoxan were the hardest for him. But when he was feeling well, he played in the playroom and was up around playing soccer. He is enjoying his time home now. His white blood cell count is low but so far no fevers to send us back to the hospital. One thing he does not like about being home is that Mommy has to give him a shot of Neupogen(a drug to help boost his white blood cell counts) every night. It leads to many tears and negotiating. The next round of chemo should start the 18th, after his birthday on Satrday. He is really planning his birthday- should be some superheroes of all types. He is having a hard time deciding which one should be the theme of the birthday, so we plan on using all of them.

Danielle, Kirk, Mason & Mateo, Greetings from your old friends from Bolivia, the Dzur family. Lisa Peterson sent me this web page. I would like to help you guys in any way I can. In January Cherry will be a five-year cancer survivor. Here are some words of encouragement. All of those side-effects that they warn you about, well they have to tell you about the worst, and it is so so scary as a parent, but you can expect the best. Kids are amazing and they do very well. It is usually the parents that require the most support. Cherry is a healthy, active, bright first grader now. We have a web page I have not updated in a long time, but I'm going to go post a new picture of her I took today. The page is www.caringbridge.org/tx/cherry
Write me! Stephanie Dzur sdzur@yahoo.com
