University of Chicago Appt

Yesterday was appt day in Chicago. Ryans Dr reviewed labs with us and so far those all looked good. Ryans liver enzymes increased again. Dr said that it could be from the chemo drugs going through his liver so not to worry at this time about spreading disease growth. No increase in chemo dose again since Ryan has had some toxicity symptoms and his body is just not ready for another increase in medication dose. He currently is taking 4 in the am and 4 at night.
Infusion went well. He recieved his final dose of IGF in the first cycle. Next appt we will know if it is working. He will have his CT in the 10th with results given at our appt on the 11th of Feb.
Communication will be much better with them as well. We had a serious conversation about what we needed from them, so I am hopeful that this will improve dramatically.
We are excited for tomorrow! Ryans mom is flying in to see us. The boys can hardly wait and Ryan and I are just as excited. Hopefully we will be able to go to the aquarium or do something fun with her while she is here.
Feb 13th is the official date- WE WILL BE HOME!!!!! YAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
Much Love to you ALL!!!
