Eli's counts today:

ANC 1568 (normal 2000-6600+)
Hemoglobin 10.1 (Normal 11-15)
Platelets 366 (Normal 140-440)

We have had such a good week it has felt as though we are on vacation!! Eli has been doing fine, and doing all two-year-old stuff. The older boys are playing soccer and football and having a good time.

Our clinic visit today was quick. We went in at 9 and were out by 11:30. It was good. He got the Pentamadine, the profilactic (sp?) antibiotic and bloodwork and that was it!! The doc said that we will give him the Methotrexate at the next LP and he will be admitted overnight (this was for John and my benefit...after the last siezure we didn't want to do that at home) then we will do another MRI a couple of weeks later and see what his nogin looks like....if all looks good, we will continue with the Methotrexate for the remainder af treatment.

I am going on a girls night with some other moms from Courageous Kidz (a cancer help group) this weekend on Sat night. I am looking forward to it...it is nice talking and getting to know other women that are going through this. It is at a beach house on IOP..I will let you know how it went.

Take a look at the Team In Training website....thanks to all of those that have donated money....as I have said, I feel we can make a difference by supporting the research to end these cancers!!

Please pray for the Nash family and the Ward family. Both lost thier little girls to cancer this weekend, I can only imagine the pain they are going through. Please pray that God give them some peace during this most difficult time.

Thanks for checking in....it is nice not to have much to post....have a great weekend.

I am thankful that we are into maintenance and doing well.
