Chemo round 12 day 3

Today Sierra and I were thwarted in our attempt to get our nails done did.  But after a promise of a couple more minutes that stretched into 60 minutes of waiting we left "welcome nails" grabbed Jackson from the hotel and headed over to "Sea Top" nails where we barely had time for Sierra to be fancied up.  She was grinning so I feel it was time well spent, despite what her Dad says about throwing money away!  Next we went to Chemo.  Jax and Sierra were able to claim the x-box today (first time in 47 chemo's!) in our infusion room and they had fun with that.  Then we took Sierra to the sibling play room and headed over to audiology.  We discovered that our oncology scheduler and the audiology department had miscommunicated and audiology did NOT have the time to do a BAER test today.   But he did the preliminary 1 hour hearing test and if Dr. McClain wants us to get another BAER we can schedule one when we get home.  This put us on the road at 4:30 which was better than we thought, but with weekend traffic we still only made it to Cle Elum by 7:15.  We only waited a few minutes before Ryan and Lucy brought Michael to us and took Sierra from us---thanks Ryan!  We are back in our room now, we just medicated Jackson so we should be in for a quiet evening.  Good thing -- I am long overdue typing up the primary program!  Tomorrow may be our LAST chemo--I'm saving the medical bracelets just in case!!  We won't be taking the laptop to Houston but we will post on Tuesday to let you all know what Dr. McClain said.  Feel free to call us if you just can't take the suspense!  As always please keep our boy in your prayers--Thanks.
Sierra getting treated right--finally!
(That was a dig at YOU Welcome Nails)

Blurry but this is Jackson during his hearing test--he passed!

Boo Welcome Nails! Boo! Trevor and I went to the temple tonight. We put Jax's name on the prayer roll in big bold letters. We'll be thinking and praying and wishing and hoping that things go well in Houston. WE LOVE YOU!
