Chemo Day 1

Kalan handled his first chemo session very well today. He will have another session (each one lasts about 3 hours) next Friday (9/18), then have a week off, and then start the cycle again. We are hopeful he'll continue through treatment with no side effects and know that we're off to a good start. We're a little tired but are so thankful to be on the path to Kalan's recovery.
