Peach Fuzz is Growing

Jack's Journey

Thankfully Jack’s past few months have been uneventful.  He is now starting to grow peach fuzz all over his head and the small patches that never fell out are becoming quiet thick now.  With a full head of hair the only physical reminder will be the port in his chest.  As parents we are amazed at how quickly you can learn to accept cancer, due to fact that he is responding so well.  Jack is a typical 3 year old that tries our patience regularly, and we are able to treat him just as we did before this diagnosis—giving time-outs and all.  Each day Jack continues to take a cocktail of pills as part of his chemo, and treatment at the clinics is approximately once a month now.  For one week out of the month he takes steroids.  We don’t see any change in his personality during this week, but the week after he becomes Mr. Drama.  With fewer trips into Boston and stability in his treatment plan we are finally feeling like a “normal” family.

    That’s great. He certainly seemed like a typical three year old last time we saw you. Soph had a ton of fun. We’ll have to do it again soon…maybe Dawn will be around next time.
