Just a quick update. Tanner has not had a fever in almost two days. That is great news! Tanner is not isolated to his room any more, because all of his test and blood work came back infection free. As of today, Tanner still has pain in certain areas of his body, but seems to be dealing with it. It's not that he has much choice. He still is "inpatient" status, but we will see if that will change. Tanner is feeling a little hungry and the focus is for him to eat to keep his weight from dropping any further than it is.
During this past Chemo session, we have seen a courageous young boy go through pain that most people could not imagine. We want to thank the St. Jude staff over and over again for their continued support for Tanner and all the other children that battle this horrible disease. They are truly the angels.
On a different note. Tanner started losing his hair this past week and it was a little devastating. We all know hair is not his identity, but it was the last little bit of "normal" we were hanging on to. This week is head was shaved. It will be up to Tanner if we wants any photos to be posted. His Father and Uncle and others have shaved their heads in support for Tanner. Thank you for the show of support. It lifts all of us up!
We appreciate all the love and support #Tannerstrong!
