Just realized that the video I uploaded in the previous post had an error. So I’m posting it again… (for those who care to watch a 10 second clip of Adam taking 3 steps, ha). Enjoy!

Last Round of Chemo
We have been anxiously waiting to start Adam’s last round of chemo (cycle 8). It’s taken him a lot longer to recover this time, so he hasn’t been ready to start therapy yet. He was supposed to start chemo 2 weeks ago but wasn’t fully recovered from the last cycle (cell counts still too low). […]
Upcoming Scans
It’s been 1 week since Adam had his 4th chemo treatment. His eating has declined a bit but he still seems happy. He had a blood draw appointment on Tuesday and he did not need any blood transfusions. We will go back again on a Friday for another blood draw. Next week, Adam will get […]
A Good Week
Hellllo. Sorry it’s been so long since our last post! I officially went back to work this week, and Mark resumed his role as daddy daycare. The good news is that we both survived our first week back at work! ? It feels like not much has happened since our last post, but when I […]
Chemo cycle 3
Adam seems to be recovering very well from his surgery. His incision seems to be healing nicely, and he is on the go now, crawling everywhere. He recovered much more quickly than we had expected. Biopsy results? Well, we’re still waiting on that. Pathology was supposed to have something by this morning, but now it’s […]
We are home!
We were discharged this morning at 10:30 am. We are finally back at home again! Adam is recovering well from his surgery. We are still waiting for a big poopy diaper but he’s passed a lot of gas already, which is a good sign that his bowels are moving ? The nutritionist came by last […]
Adam’s Recovery
It’s now been almost 36 hours since Adam has had any food. The doctors do not want him to eat anything until they know his intestinal tract is functioning properly. We are hoping they regain function very soon because as you can imagine, Adam is STARVING. He’s tried vomiting a few times this morning, and […]
Surgery Update
Just a brief update- Adam’s surgery was successful. We arrived at the hospital at 5:30 am, he entered the OR at 7:45 am and was in recovery by 11:00 am. The surgeon was able to fully remove the tumor without any complication. Biopsies of the liver and the bone marrow were also successfully completed. The […]
Surgery Tomorrow
Adam will be undergoing a surgery tomorrow (Wednesday, 3/28) to remove the primary tumor by his adrenal gland/kidney area. This tumor is a little bigger than a golf ball, and will be a rather complex surgical procedure with a lot of blood vessel and organ involvement. It will be an open procedure with a 4-6 […]
