Update on Treatment!

Hello Everyone!!
We have a lot to catch everyone up on. Sawyer has completed 2 rounds of his combination therapy (chemo and immunotherapy). While he was receiving this treatment, he experienced some pain as well as, fevers, nausea, and fatigue. He was a real trooper through everything. The first few days were pretty rough finding the right balance with his pain meds and other meds to counteract the side effects of the pain meds, mainly itching. This second cycle was a little bit better than the first. The good news with this treatment is that as soon as he is done receiving his meds the side effects stop. This meant that he did not require any extra time in the hospital and he did not have any fevers in between rounds so we didn’t have to make any unscheduled trips to the hospital. Sawyer will be having updated CT and MIBG scans on September 20th. If this treatment is successful and his doctors are happy with the progress he will begin his 3rd round the following week.

In between cycles the boys have been busy. Sawyer was feeling well enough that he started school on time. His first day was on August 21st. He seems to be liking it very well, he has some old friends from last year and is making some new friends in his class this year. Calvin had his first day on September 6th. He loved playing with all the different toys just not having to put away the toys. Aunt Lisa and Jen’s parents were a big help watching Calvin for us this past 2 cycles. We don’t know what we would do without you guys.

We were also able to take our first day trip since Sawyer’s diagnosis to celebrate Jeremy’s Grandmother’s birthday. It was nice to get away for the day and the boys had a lot of fun visiting with everyone, especially their cousins.
