Day Two

Good news! Today Jack got the packing out of his nose! He's extremely excited about that, as that was the thing that was making him the most uncomfortable. His dad was also able to get him a pair of glasses from his optometrist. They should be ready by the middle of the week. Today we also met our new doctor, who will be caring for Jack for the next two weeks. His name is Dr. Reeder, and from what we've heard, he's the best in his field. That seems to be a recurring theme at the Mayo Clinic. (FYI – the doctors at here are on two-week rounds, so it's normal for us to see more than one doctor throughout the course of Jack's treatment. They all work and consult as a team so they are well informed about each patient they see)
Day two of chemo was relatively uneventful, which is again, a good thing. The doctors are upping his dose of the Daunorubicin, because his liver seems equipped to handle it. They may extend that treatment one more day depending on how his body responds. Jack still says he isn't feeling any side effects!
Again, we're completely overwhelmed by the amount of love and support we're getting from friends and family. Thank you all so much!
