Interim Maintenance 1 - Day 41

On Monday, June 11th we went in for JP's last treatment in this phase. His numbers were good so they increased the Methotrexate and he also got the normal dosage of Vincristine. He didn't have to have an LP this time, and it was seriously our quickest visit at the hospital - about 3 hours. JP has started wanting to "help" with his port so the nurses let him help push the syringe. He doesn't get to push the chemo administration, but the saline flushes and Heparin (that helps his line not clot) he can. He is trying more and more to be as independent as possible and we are enjoying the tantrums that ensue when he can't do it ALL himself. Haha! Oh, the joys of having a two-year old! Oh, and just in case you were concerned, we found Spiderman. We don't know where he was on Day 31, but he was back on the 3rd floor for this visit. Phew!


This is what I get when I ask for a cheese. He really is his father's child!


So helpful!

  1. Got to love the"I can do it myself" phase. He's got 2 strong willed and independent parents so don't be surprised if he's a bit stubborn. ;) We had some epic battles with Emmy at this phase! Love that cheeser grin.
