Eli was able to throw the first "pinch" (as he says it) at the Riverdogs game!!
What a thrill. All of the boys were just so excited and Eli did a very good job, almost making it to the plate!!

Cinic today went well. Eli's counts are:

ANC 5320 (WOW)
Hemo 11.5
Platelets 196

I think the numbers we are seeing are the week that he was off of chemo. I am sure they will come back down....but I am kinda glad they are high, because Eli starts school tomorrow. And mommy is freaking out just a little bit!! I really feel in my heart it is what is best for him, but I am terrified of the exposure. I spoke to the onc about it again today, and she said not to worry. He will be exposed, and get sick, but we will go with the punches. If there is anything really bad out there like chickenpox or strep, I will take him out for a while. But he is so excited!! I do ask for your prayers once again....that I find peace in all of this. It is alot harder than I thought it was going to be when we first decided to do this.

I will have our "Eli's Team" webpage ready soon, so get your wallets ready!!

Thanks for checking in.

I am thankful that Eli has an almost normal immune count to begin school.
