Doing Great!

Hello everyone,

Xavier's surgery went really well! He was nervous of course, but the procedure itself only took about 20 mins. The longest part of the whole thing was the waiting around until the surgeon and anesthesiologist came up to go over everything. But after they wheeled him away they time flew by! When we went to see him in recovery it took him a few minutes to realize that everything was done, but within about 5 minutes he was eating a popsicle and said he felt great and was ready to go home! The surgeon said X could shower on Sunday (which he did, for the first time without having to be covered with plastic and tape) and he will be able to swim in a week. What an eventful birthday! When we got home he never even took a nap, he wanted birthday presents! =) We had a low key birthday celebration, Grandma Connie and Grandpa Ken came by for Woodranch for dinner and a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake. We also let X have his friend Dakota come over...I am such a pushover!
Tomorrow X has to have labs drawn to check his blood levels, they will have to do a regular draw since we dont have the catheder anymore but we are fine with that! His next clinic appointment is on June 30th for IV chemo, no spinal, yay! Will let you know how it all goes.

Love, Cherie
