Great news, Jon has actually gained some weight since last week! Miss Cindy, our special nurse at the clinic, wanted to check to ensure Jon did not have rocks in his pocket. So we are closer to our weight goal and hopefully by this coming Monday, he will reach it and then have another week to maintain it and then the tube can be removed.
We did end up at the clinic all day Monday, as Jon's numbers were critical again and he had to receive a unit of blood. Hopefully that will help bring his numbers and his stamina up so he can feel better.
We had made a makeshift ping pong table out of 6 foot tables on our back porch and Jon was really looking forward to playing, however, the balls would not bounce properly. His grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Massenburg, had a ping pong table that had no legs so they gave us the table and we put it on top of the two 6 foot tables and now we can play. He wears out easily but at least he is spending some time outside and having fun at it!
We rearranged his nutritional feed and he seems to have a little more appetite by late afternoon or evening and is eating a bite or two here and there. It's something so we will take it!!!
We do return next Monday for another procedure and more chemo (3 different doses) and hope that his numbers will be up by then.
Thank you for caring about him and for all the prayers you send our way!
