Just a quick note to say that Carson is still feeling good, with plenty of energy. He's eating well and playing constantly. The only problem is this cold and rainy weather we've been having since Wednesday. We are still avoiding public places as much as possible. Carson's ANC wasn't wonderful on Tuesday (just above 600), but it wasn't as terrible as it has been. Since indoor play areas are out and in general, so are play dates, we've had to come up with other activities. We raided the video store yesterday and today we've resorted to riding the bicycle and "hog" in the garage. I think the weather is supposed to start improving on Monday. I hope the forecasters are right!
Francesca and Paul are at a swim meet in Laurel, Maryland. They were there last night too, fighting the Friday afternoon traffic to get there. I will do swim meet duty tomorrow. Swim Fast Sissy!
Tuesday is Carson's next scheduled chemo and then we will be done with the Consolidation phase. Next comes "Interim Maintenance", which will last about 6 weeks. Carson is scheduled to enter the hospital several times during this phase for a high dose of methotrexate.
Keep us, and especially Carson, in your prayers before, during and after that time. Another phase, another unknown.......

Wow! Congrats Francesca for earning the Champion title!! That's awesome! We hope you're enjoying your meet in Laurel today. On another note, so glad those horrible shots are over, I can't imagine how difficult for both of you... we'll be praying often as Carson transitions to the next phase. As always, many thanks for keeping us all up-to-date! (I've got my fingers crossed for the sun to return!) Erin :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job Francesca on the title! Future Olympian in our midst? I hope that that the rain does end - we sure have had our share of it. Sending you guys lots of prayers as you end this stage and enter interim maintenance - a step closer to having this monster beat! Hang in there guys - I'm so amazed by you.~Kim
