Day 63 Update - 14JAN09

Mom took this really cool picture;)
Josh finished up his radiation treatments today and got to take home his mask that they used to hold his head still and align the radiation beam. It is really neat and he is still deciding what he wants to do with it.

 His red blood count was a little low today so he got a transfusion at the hospital before he came home. Josh is basically off until Monday when he needs to have pulled his white count up a bit so we can continue with treatment. If his counts qualify Josh will stay at the hospital overnight on Monday and then finish his chemo at home like last time.

Hey Snuggle Monkey,

Having a bit of exhibitionist fun are we?? Great shot Mom - it's a 'keeper'.

Your "face" is truly awesome and I hope you come up with a really cool was to display it. Maybe you could suspend it from the ceiling so it can watch over you (as long as you don't wake up in the middle of the night and freak when you see it).

Glad you're getting a bit of a rest and I hope your white count comes up all on its own.

Love, hugs and kisses

What cool pics! I think the mask could turn into a halloween costume at sometime. Or part of the decorations outside with the smoke machine - that would be a cool idea. Josh, you look so wonderful and I am so happy that the radiation is done! Now you guys can have a few days off to rest and regain your strength to continue to kick cancer butt:)

Maybe next week Frank and I can come and see you. He has a surprise for you and Jarrod, and I need some little boy hugs.

Love, Miss Laura
