Yesterday involved some clowning around, but today things got down to serious business. Austin began the first day of his first round of chemo at approximately 2:30 this afternoon. The drugs are so toxic, the nurse requires protective gear to administer the chemo. It went better than I had anticipated. Austin has been sleeping most of the day. He had some minor shakes when the chemo entered his system, but this subsided after a few minutes. I am hesitant to be optimistic, though, because I have heard a whole lot of horror stories from other parents (when their children received the same drugs). It just seems like today went too well without any major complications... (talk about setting yourself up for unnecessary stress and worries). With the help of my dad, we have set up this blog for Austin with pictures and daily updates on his progress through treatment. I hope you can check in on occasion, and post a comment for the little guy.
