Jackson had a rough day today.  His central line got a crack in it and it was not able to be fixed.  So the surgeon decided that the whole thing needed to be replaced.  So back to the operating room to get a new central line. For his surgery they had to put in an IV and again they had issues finding a vein. They stuck him 10 times and finally got one put in his head.   His blood counts were also very low which was to be expected and he received blood yesterday and platelets today.  He still greeted us with smiles and giggles. We got the ok from the nutritionist to start solid foods with him.  This will be interesting! :-)  Jackson enjoyed spending time with his Grandma Lundquist for the past week.  He is done with chemo for the second round but will remain in the hospital for the next couple of weeks as we ride the roller coaster of blood counts.
