Miles made it home late last Saturday night, but not before methodically consuming that Big Mac and its little fry friends.
The next couple days were sedate, but low on nausea, both thanks to some very effective medication. Miles says he was very happy to be back at school (couple hours Monday, half a day on Tuesday, and all day Friday), reconnecting with his friends and teachers.
Wednesday, he joined his Phillies buds at baseball practice. Coach Butch has welcomed him to attend practices and games whenever he can. We look forward to him motivating his team in new ways this year, since he won't be staring down pitchers from the left side of the plate.

------------------------------------
Thursday was Clinic Day at Dana Farber. Blood counts are holding well, and treatment remains on schedule. Miles' tank got topped off with a bag of IV saline, and we backed off on the nausea meds...the kid's darn perky now!
So week 3 of cycle 1 is coming up. No planned chemotherapy this week--we expect that down at Children's Hospital for a few days each of weeks 4 and 5. Meanwhile, Miles is going with the flow. He and his parents want to thank you all for your encouragement, camaraderie, and assistance with this experience. It means everything.
You can still stare down those pitchers, Miles. Just from a different viewpoint. Glad you went to school. Sending lve, hugs, and well wishes from Florida.
