Tuesday's clinic visit was fairly uneventful, except for the hour wait to see the doctor. That just happens. And now, thanks to our many visits to the hospital, we have lots of experience with waiting patiently!
Carson's ANC is still holding up and staying pretty high - it was 4100. By now, you know the next sentence I'll write, and probably the next one too. Yes, time to raise the dosages. Come back in two weeks to check again.
HOSPITAL
Today, we took the last load of toys and band aids to the hospital. Can you believe it took 3 trips in our Tahoe to get it all there? That is a nice problem to have!
Since our first visit, we've also had some cash donations and we were able to purchase an additional 53 boxes of band aids. That brings the grand total to 760 boxes!! Another nice problem to have! Although now that everything is out of my house, the hospital has that problem.
Our third trip to the hospital. The Tahoe just as packed as the first trip.HAIR
Our friend Beth wrote us an email this week documenting her 9 year old daughter Abby's donation to Wigs for Kids. When Abby first learned of Carson's diagnosis, she began to grow her hair out. This last week she had 12 inches cut from her hair and sent off to help other kids who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment or other medical issues.
Before.......
......and after! What a cute haircut!We continue to amazed at the examples of the goodness and compassion that arrive out of the blue and from all sorts of places. I see it so often now, why do I continue to be amazed??? I guess I am just amazed at how it keeps on coming. Over and over, one act after another, it never ends. I guess I've always imagined such kindness as a bucket, a bucket that eventually runs out. This journey has proven otherwise. It seems your kindness is a never ending chain instead! Thank you Abby for continuing that kindness chain! To see one child helping other children...WOW!!...it just melts my heart and puts a big smile on my face!
