This summer has been fantastic so far. Eli's cough is now gone, either because of the antibiotics or the Zyrtec, I really don't know...but then I really don't care either...it is gone.

Thursday was our clinic day..and chemo day. It was a fun day because our friend Kinsey was there. We usually have different days for clinic, but they unfortunately ran into a snag on Wednesday, so they were back on Thursday. Things went better for them on Thursday and we were able to visit as well. Eli again was a champ at clinic. We got our Pentamadine and Vincristine with no problems. He is now on our 5 day steroid pulse...so let the fun begin!!

His counts were still great, but not as high as the past few weeks. His ANC is 1600, which worries me a little bit because they just increased one of his chemo meds to the 150% dosage. The thing that worries me is last year this time it was August when he had a crash in counts and we ended up being in the house for three weeks right before school started...bummer. So please pray that we stay in the "good" range.

Things are going so well, thanks for all of your love and support.
