The Bionic Boy - Day 2

Today Charlie became bionic. He received the partly metal port in his chest that will facilitate of all of the IV chemo therapy. He officially started chemo today at 6pm and will finish in 3+ years!

As you can see from this picture snapped mid afternoon, all of the thoughts and prayers are working to keep Charlie in relatively upbeat spirits. Mom and Dad are pretty happy too because it was confirmed that Charlie has the best type of ALL to treat with is type "B."

Now that the operation part and the first chemo is behind us, we would love to have some visitors to pass the days before we can head back to the comforts of our house. Please let me know if you would like to stop by and we will work on scrubbing the orange surgery residue off the kid to make him presentable.
