Histio part 3 chemo round 3 day 2

New experience for Jackson today, "hospital school"  this way he hopefully has the help he needs so its not so hard to keep up in school.

He said the teachers were helpful and nice, and the kids too.  He had a better attitude about being there after he experienced it!  Don't knock it till you tried it -- right?!
 Today Jackson's nurse, Jean, fell victim to Jackson's challenging taunts.  He told her a "good nurse could get the medicine in faster than 75 minutes".  Jean enlisted the help of another competitive nurse and together they ramped up the infusion higher than they had gone before~they made it fun for Jax, alarms going off, recalculating---he finished two bags of fluids and his chemo in 37 minutes.  RECORD BREAKING!!  I know, I'm excited too.  The three of them were pretty proud of themselves.
If I got those two FULL bags of fluid in 37 minutes I would be running---to the ladies room.
  Julia brought Jackson Pringles yesterday and skittles.  This picture reminds me of when he was four getting chemo, clutching a Pringles can.
 I always make Jax walk by the board that has his 4 year old cutie picture on it--he is the tow head clutching a baseball mitt.
He is bigger now. And not a tow head.

Fun challenge from Jackson for those fun nurses! It's amazing how they really do make a difference in the whole chemo scene.

Leave it to Jackson to convince good law abiding nurses to break rules and records while he sits back with that innocent smile on his face. I love it!
