Journal entry by Alicia Derrick —
Kyle just turned 13! He had a great Birthday. Spending they day with family means a lot to him. He has been doing better in between rounds. During the 9th round of chemo, was rough. He didn't eat all week and physically took a toll. If he meets counts, he will have his 10th round starting Monday. Praying he remains healthy and meets counts. We already had to push it back one week, due to low counts and a cold. We had PET scans last week and tomorrow we will receive the results from his Doctor. Pray they are good results, nothing lights up. We have yet to discuss if they will remove the 5th rib. Will depend on his Oncology doctor and surgeon and how they think we should move forward. Or if its necessary. I will post a report tomorrow for the results.
