So far...

He made counts as of today. They will check them again on Thursday morning to make sure that they are still good but as of this morning his ANC was 1530. That is awesome and I'm really hoping he holds. Cheyenne leaves tomorrow morning for her summer w/ her grandmother in GA. And my parents get back from Florida tomorrow night so we are going to meet a couple of my friends in Independence for dinner, then we'll be crashing w/ Meghan and Abbey so we don't have to get up and drive back to the city Thursday morning. So it should be a fun night before he is admitted again. He is NOT happy about any of this. He is tired of being in the hospital and I don't blame him. Especially for the Ara-C, that is so hard on him. We usually wait until his ANC starts to drop after the Ara-C before we begin the GCSF, but being that he just got Cytoxan last week they are going to drop faster if he holds until Thursday so we'll hopefully start them sooner. He will also start the Erwinia shots up again, all these leg pokey's are so brutal for him.

His hair is doing some weird stuff! lol He has a bald spot in the back that is growing back in, the top is growing longer by the minute it seems and then in between all that he has a few small bald spots. The Ara-C will very likely wipe the rest of it out again, which he is happy about. He likes the bald look. But let me tell you, after he finishes treatment buzz cuts will be off limits! lol I would be happy if he never had to be bald again. That is the hardest part about his treatment, when he is bald he looks so sick, but when he really was sick, before he was in remission he didn't look sick b/c the relapse was in his CNS and he had so signs or symptoms. Well that is about all for now, we all have a busy week ahead of us. So I'll post again once we get to the hospital and find out if his ANC held for admission or not.
