Today Eli's counts were:

Hemoglobin 10.4
Platelets 556
ANC 1276 (Yea, thanks for all of the prayers!!)


We are OFFICIALLY in Long Term Maintenance!! Eli was able to get his LP today and get things started with the chemo. It was a really short clinic visit, we were our of there by 12noon...Again, we are on like 10 different meds a day, but at least it is all at home.

The Daniel Island News is going to write a story about Childhood Cancer Awareness Month....Beth Bush came to the clinic and visited with us for a while. I think it is great that they are willing to help make more people aware that we really need to find a cure!!! I will put the link up when the article comes out.

Jacob and Sam both had football games today. It was really nice to be able to take Eli and chase him around like a "normal" two year old. He still has lots of energy and is handling everything so well. It is amazing watching them play football...when did they get so big?

A young girl, Rachel, is in the hospital finishing her last treatment. Way to go!! Please pray for the parents of another little one, Morgan, who is not doing well. I know I have said it before, but it is so HARD to be in this world where I see so many little ones suffering....

Thanks for checking in.

Give so we can find a cure!!


I am thankful that today went so smoothly. Although we have been through so many before, it is still great when these "procedures" go well.
