Justin Update

It's been awhile since I have updated on Justin!
He really is doing fantastic with a few glitches if you would call them that.
He did really well after his Cytoxan for about a month and right around the holidays his little body decided to start spilling protein again.
His doctor happened to be the one on call so I was able to stay in contact with him on a daily basis, giving updates, and discussing options. Thankfully the doctor took a leap of courage and let me just watch him for a few days in hopes of his protein levels going down and low and behold with some intervention from on high his levels have been dropping.
He has been spilling for a couple of weeks now, but there is no swelling or at least not a lot as of yet so we are good to just keep monitoring him.
He was also lucky to experience a fracture in his foot so the little man is wearing a cast shoe for a few weeks. He has to miss a few basketball games, but that is really his only limit. He thought it was really cool for the first day and I think the newness and excitement of something broken is beginning to wear off.
