Today Rachel Harvin came and gave Eli his finger poke at home so we didn't have to go into the clinic. We are trying this to see how it works so we will only have to go into the clinic every other week. We have had some small glitches the past month, but today went beautifully. Eli got his poke while watching Spiderman and it didn't bother him at all!! His counts are still good:

ANC 1016
Platelets 177
Hemoglobin 12.2

All the numbers are where we want them to be and Eli continues to be in a fantastic mood. He is wanting to go to the pool everyday, and with the chilly weather this week, we weren't able to go. But now we are supposed to see the 80's for the next week, so I am sure we will be pool bound!!

Jacob and Sam continue to do well at school. John is traveling, but we find our "rythm" when he is gone and mangage OK.

Hope all is well in your world. Please pray for Samuel, a little boy battling for his life. As I have said many, many times on this site....I am reminded daily of how lucky and blessed we are to have everything that we do!!

Thanks for checking in.
