Well, here we are still at the hospital and we will probably be here for at least another two weeks. Radiation has started to take a toll on our sweet Jackson. He has had alot of nausea in the morning and he is not taking in as much food and fluids as he should be. The oncologist are hydrating him at night. So, we will be here until he can keep up with food and fluid intake on his own. Jackson only has five more radiation treatments to his head and spine. After that they will focus in on the tumor bed and radiate that area. They say is should get a little easier during that phase of treatment. That phase is about 10 treatments.

He is still involved with rehab and he is doing quite well there. He has begun to walk alot on his own and with only holding one of our hands. Each day he is getting stronger and his balance is getting better. We still spend alot of time in rehab during the day, the playroom during the evening, and roaming the halls in between.
