Kindergarten Update, Counts and a Race

Yesterday Carson had his first full day of Kindergarten. Check off another milestone! Following that, he had his first "sports class". The coach ran them around for a good 45 minutes through an "agility course". He was all smiles after each activity, then melted down from pure exhaustion about 7:00. He was promptly put to bed. I had to wake him up at 7:30 this morning so he wouldn't miss the bus. Luckily, Wednesdays at Kindergarten are only half days. The boy can catch up on some rest. He has chosen to do so by watching a "Curious George" marathon.

Monday at the clinic was again a repeat of "Carson's Continuing Counts Saga". A week out from his virus and ER visit, his ANC came in at about 3000. Too high, so the 6MP dosage will rise and we will watch and see. Vincristine, Pentamadine and Prednisone were administered as well. We are on Day 3 of steroids and so far; it looks like Carson will be living off of Honey Nut Cheerios during his steroid week.

In other news Francesca completed her first 5K in the Falls Church Education Foundation Race for the Schools. Paul ran with her and they were still speaking to each other after it was over. So....it was a good run!



Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
