Well we came back to UNM yesterday for another week of chemo. Kristoffer cannot get the IV nutrition and chemo together so we have stopped the IV nutrition for now. He is eating a little better but not good enough. We are considering a gastric tube for the rest of chemo. It is a tube that goes directly into the stomach so we would do tube feedings at night and let him eat normal during the day. They also want Kristoffer to stay in the hospital for his whole treatment from now on. So we are going to bring our camper home this week. He had a hard time with the last treatment so they want to monitor him more closely. They did reduce his dose of chemo by 25%. So hopefully it won't suppress his immune system for as long. They actually didn't start his chemo yesterday so that does put us a day behind but we are hoping this week goes by fast!!
Braces off!

Wish I could be there to help.
I hope that having to stay in the hospital for the whole thing is offset by him being more comfortable, less sick, and less likely to be isolated.
I sure hope that this round is so much easier on Kristoffer. Poor kid.
