Start of HDMTX #3

Day 163 of our war on leukemia.

We did most of our digging out on Saturday...during the storm...and thank goodness we did. Otherwise we would have been digging for hours on Sunday. Depending on which weather report you believe, we received somewhere between 16 and 20 inches. The good news is we made it to the hospital at 9am, just as planned.

Loading up to head to the hospital.

A view of the outdoor play area. Uh, I don't think we'll be heading outside anytime soon.

Carson is concerned for the poor toys covered in the snow. Most can't even be seen!

When we arrived at the hospital we found nurses, doctors and administrators who had not been home since Friday. These same people did Carson's spinal on Sunday (usually these are done during the week), so we could start chemo a day early and have a chance to get home on Christmas Eve. Thanks guys for arranging this and letting it happen!!! 10 years ago we spent the 21st-25th of December in the hospital when Francesca was diagnosed with diabetes. Christmas in the hospital is not an anniversary we'd really like to repeat.

Fast forward to today. Things are going well. Carson is feeling great and eating well. We will finish chemo tonight around 9:00 tonight; then begin the waiting for the methotrexate level to get to less than 0.1%.
