December 29, 2025 - January 1, 2026!🎆
After our time at home, it was time to go back to St. Jude for the next phase of chemo. This phase consisted of 4 types of chemo.. cisplatin, vincristine, topotecan, and cyclophosphamide. We checked into inpatient Monday night where he received cisplatin and vincristine through his chest port. Next was the topotecan, which was given through his ommaya. He handled that one like a champ! Partly because he was asleep, but still😂 Lastly, he finished off with the cyclophosphamide. While we were inpatient, Kase had all his regular therapy appointments! He saw occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. He loves all of his therapists and worked so hard while they were with him!
During this hospital stay he did show signs of fatigue and napped extra long, but was still his happy self overall! Praise the Lord! 🙏🏼
On January 1 they checked his labs and everything looked great. They were originally going to send us home with fluids because they weren’t sure if he was going to eat normally. However, we told them he doesn’t mess around when it comes to his food. So we struck a deal… if Kase could finish a bottle before 1:00 that day he could go home without fluids! And of course big man succeeded!!
We’re back at the apartment now and he’s recovering well! We had his levels rechecked on the 3rd and they came back good. He does get tired quickly and his appetite is not as big as normal. But he’s still eating good and acting as normal as expected.
His last phase of chemo for this round will be on Tuesday, January 6!
Thank you guys for all the prayers and Happy New Year! ✨🎉🎗️💗🎇
