Our counts today:

Hemoglobin 10.4 (Normal 11.0-15.0)
Platelets 337 (NOrmal 140-440)
ANC 4.890 (NOrmal 2.000-6.600) WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!

With everything going so well (knock,knock) the dr said that we can come in for labs weekly, but maybe just do exams every other week. This is sweet because it means we literally will go in, get a finger poke, and then leave. They will call me with the results later in the day....then we can go to the aquarium if his counts are good!!

I was so proud of Eli this morning. He went with Ms. Bobby by himself and told me not to come...he got his finger poke without so much as a peep, then he went back to the playroom to play...what a big boy!!!

Everything continues to move along. Our MRI is on Wednesday morning. Bobby said she would be there early to access him. The nurse in MRI said she felt confident doing it, but I really only trust the clinic nurses and the nurses on 7B. Although they may be confident, that doesn't mean they are good at accessing the port of a 3-year-old while he screams to be "let go" (he hates to be held down). So that is a huge relief and an answer to a prayer.

Please pray for the family of Chase, a little boy that has been recently diagnosed with neuroblastoma. I know what a hard time it is at first....please let the Lord help them through.

It is yucky rainy here, but I actually enjoy those "down" days with the boys.

Thanks for checking in....

I am thankful that all of this seems to be getting easier (or am I just adjusting....or both) Anyway...I give thanks all the same!!!
