Today was a good day....we went to the clinic for a check up and his bloodwork looked great. When the doctor got the preliminary results back everything looked like it was going up and his platelets had remained OK. She said that if the ANC looked up we may start chemo on Monday. While she was giving the exam the nurse came in and gave us the ANC. A Whopping 14!! So, we will not start chemo on Monday. As John put it, this might be a good thing to get a little more of a break. We will go back to the clinic on Monday to get a monthly antibiotic and check to see where we are then.
The nurses and the doctor said he is looking so good...and he really is!! I will post a picture here soon...
Prayer for today: Thanks that Eli is doing so well and praying that he continues to do well.

Hi-I'm glad you got a small respite(is that the right word- no, not really.) Remember that feeling frustrated is NORMAL- chances are that you got aggravated with Eli Before Leukemia(BL). I know I certainly get mad at my 2 year old. Just think that it is due to his superior motor planing skills that he has learned to throw up the yucky stuff. It is also because of those superior skills that he quickly relearned to walk, and run with a port and IV line. You would much rather have a child that "fights" because it is that spirit that will allow him to fight the leukemia. So if you can try and think of that blessing in that way... It is hard to be upbeat all the time- again NORMAL. You and John need to take care of yourselves also...

Maria, yesterday I made my more-or-less regular platelet donation in Eli's honor. We're all pulling for you all.
