Consolidation Phase Continues

We are thankful that Elliot has been feeling well for the past week and we have been able to stay out of the hospital. He is gradually getting more mobile. He will crawl and scoot around, walk with a walker, but he still does not walk on his own. We were re-assured that this would return over time.

Today was a busy day at the doctor's office. He got another lumbar puncture (LP) with chemo in his spinal fluid, and received 2 other types of chemo IV. We started the LP earlier (9:30) which was nice because he can't eat or drink before it. We had to stay at the office for a while because one of the IV chemo drugs (PEG) takes an hour to infuse and he has to stay an hour afterwards to be sure he doesn't have a reaction. Everything went well. He was a little cranky later today, which we are attributing to his treatments this morning. The following video is at the office during his PEG infusion.
