Here we are in the hospital again....it is funny how comfortable we are here now. When we are coming in like today to get a procedure and then leave we visit with all of the nurses and techs that we have come to know and love..it is funny how the right people can make anything easier.
We got to the clinic this morning at 9am only to wait, wait, and wait. It is now 9:00 and he is just beginning to get his chemo. It is almost as though when you walk into this hospital you are in thier own time zone, or no time zone at all. But as I said before, this is really teaching me patience because I know it is out of my hands. It will get done, and that will be fine.
Eli's counts were at 1490 and his platelets were actually above normal....what a nice change of pace. If he continues like he did last month we should have another week of good counts and then they will begin to plummet next week as these drugs get into his system. The Hucks family that we vacation with every year will be coming into town this weekend and it would be great for him to be feeling well!!
Please pray that Eli handles this chemo well and continues to do as well as he has. The meds are getting a little easier (absolutely struggling with us, but no vomiting:) Thanks for the support and prayers for our little trooper!!

Hello Maria!
We just returned from our vacation and the first thing I wanted to do was to read Eli's updates. I know it sounds like a long, hard road, but Eli really sounds like a trooper (other than oral meds!). Prayers for you all that he will be well for your visit with the Hucks. I know that is a special time for all of you.
Lots of hugs, Ann
