It is amazing the ups and downs each day brings. After our last post, the apartment we were going to get on Thursday has been moved up to this coming Sunday. We are all so excited. For the first time in about a month, we will all be staying together under the same roof. On top of that, this apartment has a full size kitchen. We are so ready for some good home cooked meals because we are about sick of eating out, not to mention the ridiculous cost of eating out in Jacksonville. One good thing about Jacksonville is that there are a plethora of organic markets, which is going to be a major plus in a few days. Thankfully we will have four days to settle into a routine before treatment begins.
As far as Tzadok is concerned, he continues to be a trooper. He is starting to get a little anxiety from all of the doctor's poking and sticking him, and he doesn't like being put to sleep at all. Please, pray that the team in Jacksonville is caring and compassionate toward him and Rachel. The team here deals primarily with older patients, and it is apparent in their attitude and demeanor. It is not like St. Jude at all. We met with the oncologist here, and he went back over some of the side effects of radiation and we were given yet another sour pill to swallow. I don't like speaking negatively over Tzadok but just remember to keep Tzadok in your prayers not only for the six weeks of treatment but the years to follow as well. Our little warrior will have a long road ahead of him. One other thing to keep in your prayers is that Tzadok does not get a fever during treatment. We must keep him well throughout this process because if he gets sick there will be a regiment of tests, isolation, and a general fear of infection getting into the port on his chest. I think I speak for all my family when I say we are a little home sick. We are ready to be back home among family and friends, but most of all we want Tzadok well and prosporous for years to come.
