Another Week Off

Day 68 of 1,278

Just a quick note to say we are having another week off chemo. Carson went to see the doctor on Tuesday to kick off the second part of the consolidation phase of treatment, but it turns out his ANC level was too low. Remember what ANC stands for? Don't feel bad if you don't...it took us weeks before the ANC lingo started to stick. Check out our post Meeting up with Friends from a few weeks ago for a refresher.

Otherwise we are just happy as can be that Carson's appetite is picking up. Last week at this time we were lucky if we could get him to eat three goldfish crackers a day. Today he woofed down an entire hot dog. Okay, so that's still not a whole lot for a growing boy, but it's a heck of a lot more than he's been eating. Heck if he keeps this up, someday, a few years from now, he may regain the weight he's lost.

Oh, and this last note. If you haven't already, take a look at the Francesca's post from 9/13 and support Kathleen and Brad as they raise money to fight leukemia. This is absolutely the easiest way to help Carson!!

And if you've already made a donation...You Rock!! Thanks!!!
