Cycle 2 Begins

Yesterday we went to Phoenix Children's Hospital to talk to the doctor there about the stem cell harvest and transplant. It was a little depressing to hear all the horrible side effects that could happen. I'm hoping and praying that James will have very few side effects from this whole thing. He starts his second cycle of chemotherapy today.  And after he is done as soon as his neurogenic counts are up they will do the stem cell harvest. We will have to go to PCH to get it done because Cardon's is not yet certified. He will have to stay there for about 24-48 hrs to have it done. We hope James will get to come home for a few days before going back for cycle 3. Today is just a hydrating day with a few chemo meds. He has been giggling all morning. He especially finds it funny when Zoey cries(typical big brother). He is getting stronger which is good but also bad because now he can fight back more. He walked for the first time yesterday with some help of course but he did a good job!
