Rocket Attack

Carson finished up his HDMTX chemo treatment last night and has been on a fluids flush ever since. Despite the nasty medicine, he has maintained a big appetite and high energy levels. We'll see if that holds true over the next few days.

In the meantime, this is how we spend our free time:


Watch as Carson and the gang use rocket launchers to protect the oncology ward. (Uh, guys, I think you could use some more time on the practice range.)

If you are thinking we must not be having "tubey" or port issues because I haven't complained about them yet, you'd be wrong. True to form, tubey is already acting up and proving very difficult to for blood draws. Right now I'm praying we can make it through the night without having to re-access. More than that, Carson is close to clearing the residual chemo out of his blood. A better prayer would be for good enough numbers that we can simply take tubey out and go home!

We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Thanks to everyone for the help and the prayers!!

Paul.

  3. Paul, Jennifer, Francesca, and Carson,

    Got your Christmas card -- I am so impressed that you even sent one out with all that you are going through! I spent some time yesterday looking through the entries in your blog. I am also impressed that you can maintain some sense of humor through all of this. Francesca's swimming -- also impressive! You are one amazing family!

    You can add 4 more sets of best wishes from NJ to your many supporters.

  4. Hello King family from Holly's momma! Although it looks like my sweet girl took a hit, it's wonderful to see boys being boys...even in the hospital...and I'm glad she shared this with me. Hope Carson got rid of the tubey and you're all back home safe and warm. Merry Christmas and blessings of good health in the New Year! Susan Senn
