Still Doing Great!

We're now 8 days into JR's treatment and he's still as happy and strong as ever. We've seen a wonderful change in JR - he's been sweeter - that's the only way to describe it. Adeline's been the unsung hero - just going with it and no complaints. She's in awe of her big brother!
We've been enjoying our guest status with the car and driver. What a difference it makes to be driven in and out of NY. You don't know how exhausting it is until you stop. We are so grateful for that.
We're also so grateful for all of our wonderful neighbors and other friends who keep sending in all this crazy-good food. Thanks to the Russells, the Brooks, the Barlows and, once again, the Servas family for keeping us well-fed (and getting our extra winter pounds on early!!).
I don't have much else to say except that things are really going great. Anyone who sees JR can't believe he's going through radiation and chemo - he seems just like his old self. He typically has his radiation around 10:30 a.m. and we give him his anti-nausea and chemo before bed. He's had a few extra appointments to get an inhaler for this antibiotic that helps prevent a special type of pneumonia to which he's particularly susceptible. We also have weekly meetings with the oncologist (that's Wednesdays when he gets his finger stick and blood counts which BTW are great) and the radiologist (that's Thursdays so we'll see her today).
School work is not exactly a breeze but we've been trying to keep up (I don't see a future as a "home schooling mom"). He's been as cooperative as can be expected for a typical 3rd grade boy.
Today's a no school day so we'll all go in for his appointments and try to squeeze in a fun city event if we can. Adeline is excited to go in with us. Thanks again to all for such overwhelming love and support.
