Eli took all of his meds last night and this morning all by himself!! I thought I was going to cry I was so happy. What a difference things are when we aren't fighting about the medications. I know it won't always be this easy, but at least it isn't a 12 round fight every morning and evening.

We went to clinic yesterday and his counts are down to 1180. This is still really good, but since we were at 2800 on Friday we know they are going down fast. We have another appointment on Friday because they think he will probably need a transfusion and/or platelets by then.

We went on a bike ride today and poor Eli threw up in the middle. He is getting the shots everyday that make him sick, and mommy forgot to give him his anti nausea medicine. Talk about a major guilt trip. But as I have said before, there is such a blessing in that he is at that age where he gets sick, then wants to play. We just came home, took the Zofran, and he was fine the rest of the day. I put a note up for myself so I won't forget. The doc put him on an antibiotic for his toe (it is kinda ingrown and red) and I was so worried I would forget that one because it is in the fridge that I totally spaced on the Zofran. OOPS. I know he forgives me.

Please pray that Eli continues to do well with all of this. His counts will be really low for the next couple of weeks, so we really need the fevers and infections to stay away....otherwise we will be back in the hospital.
