Kristoffer's Progress

Kristoffer is doing about the same today. He still has his epidural which is controlling his pain nicely. He also still has the NG tube. Once his bowels start working we can pull that tube. The epidural will be removed tomorrow. He did walk a few feet in his room this morning. He is a little shaky but he did very well. We FINALLY talked to the radiation oncologist today. He gave us great news. He said Kristoffer will only need 11 days of radiation instead of the 6 weeks we were told in the beginning. I can handle two week in Albuquerque but 6 weeks sounded like way too much. He also said Kristoffer would be getting a very low dose of radiation because his type of tumor responds very well. All of this is music to my ears. They are also going to let Kristoffer have 1 more week off before he starts his next round of chemo/radiation.
