We finished with our 2nd round of chemotherapy. Today was one of the easier days for chemotherapy. It was the most mellow drug that he gets with the most minimal side effects. Needless to say Kristoffer was not excited to head back to Albuquerque but he was a trooper and did it without complaining. The doctor was happy with his progress. The tumor is shrinking. Unfortunately so is Kristoffer. He weighs 47 pounds now. At Thanksgiving he weighed 54 pounds. Some of that is tumor weight which is good. He is eating good though so as long as he keeps eating healthy we will just continue to monitor him. The worst part is that his white blood cells are really low which makes him a really easy target for illness. So we are trying to be very careful with hand washing and not taking him out in public where he could be exposed to bugs. He does get a shot every day that helps with his immune system so hopefully it will improve quickly but it is just one of those side effects of chemotherapy. Luckily today it was just a quick trip so Kristoffer didn't have to stay in the hospital. So we are home safely and he is feeling good.
Braces off!

I’m glad you guys got there and back safe and sound. Poor Kristoffer was probably thinking “Oh no, not here again!” He is such a trooper! It is such a blessing that he is doing so great! Love ya!
Hi Jonathon and Audrie, we were at your taco dinner in spirit, at home here in Sboro, MA. We had tacos for dinner, thinking of all of you. We are so glad that you are seeing progress right now. Connie has told me about the outpouring from the community. Wish we could be there. love, J
