The good news is that both boys are feeling much better and moving on towards good health. The bad news is that I have tissue stuck in both nostrils as I type this update. I hate being sick!!!
Now that Jacob is feeling better we are rescheduled to start Delayed Intensification on Friday the 19th. During this phase we will be introducing a new chemotherapy agent so please pray that Jacob tolerates the medicines well with little side effects. On Monday he will be back at the office to receive a double shot of asparaginase - and while that sounds like a nice coffee break - it is really two large intramuscular injections. I tried to encourage Jacob that they do numb the legs with Emla to help out with the pain and he thought we should talk to Dr Odom about using Valium. What a weird little world we live in.
Check back for more updates.

Hi Jacob!
We miss you so much at school and can't wait for you to come back!
Mrs. Erickson
Hello over the past several months i have come across your blog mentioning emla. I have been working on the emla website www.ihateneedles.co.uk and wanted to invite you to share your families story, ask questions or learn about other emla users. I wish the best for you and your familty and hope that emla continues to make a positive impact.
