Clayton urinated so well last night!  Seems silly to be so happy about urine, but urine has been a VERY big deal for Clayton since the beginning...kidney issues and all.  Last night it was important that he had adequate urine output to flush the chemo through his system (for the drug that could cause potential kidney damage or hearing loss).  He was a pee-peeing machine!
Clayton definitely appears to be nauseas on these meds.  He threw up once last night and once so far today and is noticeably nauseas when he is awake.  Luckily he is asleep.  Thank you to the makers of phenergan. 
The rest of the morning has been stressful because of issues with IV nutrition v. a g-tube.  Different people have different opinions about it and while mine and George's fall in line with Birmingham's, there remains a debate over the issue here.  Part of the problem involved extremely high glucose levels this morning.  I think the issue is resolved and that everyone is on the same page now.  We'll see.

***GOOD NEWS***

Drum roll please....Bone Marrow Biopsy results came back...

NEGATIVE for malignancy- left & right sides

(keeping in mind that is just the bone marrow, the tumor itself is separate)

So the chemo is definitely doing something...what'd I say last night, everything is for the good news we are always hoping for.
