Chase is officially on Interim Maintenance last Monday. This is the third phase of his treatment and will run for 41 days. The three Chemotheraphy drugs on this phase is Methotrexate, Vincristine & Methotrexate LP. The first two will be given in his PICC & the latter thru spinal tap or LP. He was able to get the first dosage because his counts are good. Also, another good news is we do not have any oral chemo drugs to give at home. His NG tube came out last Sunday. So, we decided not to put it back in. We will try to give him the fluconazole & Bactrim by mouth this week. I hope he takes it . If not, the NG tube will be placed next week.

His urine test also showed some signs of bacteria. But, the doctor is not sure if the sample was just contaminated. They took another urine sample. The results came in today. It is positive of bacteria again. We are just waiting to find out what organism so that they can treat appropriately.
