Iowa City Update

Parker was admitted to the University of Iowa yesterday (Thursday) mornning for his first round of in-patient intensive chemotherapy. I talked to Sarah this afternoon and she said it was going well and they anticipate him being released tomm (Saturday) afternoon. Parker tolerated the chemo okay - he was miserable at times, but still his happy smiley boy self. The next 72 hours after the treatment are critical, as that is when the major side effects can take place - so they will need to watch him closely. Let us all hope and pray that Parker soars through the next 72 hours without any complications!!

PS - Sarah also reported that Parker's red hair got him LOTS of attention and compliments!! :)
