Well, we are back in our "bubble". Eli's counts are now at 250 and continuing to drop. His platelets are at 50,000...We got red blood yesterday at clinic, his hemoglobin was borderline but I wanted to go ahead and do it so we wouldn't be running into problems with it this weekend and have to go into the ER. It was a full day at clinic. We got there at 8:30 and left at 3:00. I am getting used to the long visits, and you get to know the other families that are there.
John is going to take Eli on Monday. It will probably be another long day because he gets 2 chemo treatments...one is those horrible intermuscular shots (ouch!!) and he will probably get some platelets as well. But I think John going will be good so he can meet all of the wonderful nurses that take care of us and see what it is like. Eli will probably enjoy spending time with Daddy as well.
The boys are on Spring Break this week. A while back John and I decided he would take the week off, which proved to be an awesome idea since Eli really can't go out this week at all. That way one of us can go out with them and let them have some fun.
The four of us are going to the Japanese Restaurant tonight to celebrate Jacob's nearly perfect report card. He has been working really hard on his behavior and we are so proud of him. My mom is going to stay with Eli so we can all go.
Please pray that Eli continues doing well and that the treatments he gets on Monday go well. Everyone enjoy Palm Sunday.
