Back to the PICU

James has had some trouble breathing the last couple days. His breaths are just short and quick like it takes a lot of effort. So they monitored him and his doctor sent him back down to PICU. He just wants him watched carefully and that's what the nurses there are trained to do. He had an X-ray and an echo done and everything came back normal. No pneumonia!! He has his consult over at Phoenix Children's Hospital for his stem cell harvest on Wednesday. His next cycle of chemo was supposed to start Monday but they pushed it back to Thursday because he isn't gaining enough weight and they need a little more time for his body to recover. PT is still going he really likes to play with the toys and do things when they come. On Friday we got to have our family pictures taken here at the hospital. There is this photography group that is called Flashes of Hope and they come take pictures of all the cancer kids and their families for free. They set up there own little studio and have a makeup artist and all kinds of fun things for the kids. They give you a cd with all the pictures and a few print outs also. It was really sweet! I wasn't sure if I wanted pictures of James like this but then again I would love any picture of him with us. They are thinking we might get to go back to the oncology floor tomorrow but we will see.
