Mr.'s clinic this week was thankfully uneventful. Counts are still heading down, but not low enough - the ANC checked in at about 2000. So, we have a little further to go. 6MP dosage will be raised again and we'll report back in two weeks for the verdict. The amazing thing is that we are now approaching 100% dosing on both 6MP and Methotrexate - this summer his body could barely handle 10% of the suggested dosing. Go figure!
In two weeks Carson will also begin a new maintenance round, is it #8 or #9, I've lost count. It will be time for a spinal tap along with the steroids, IV antibiotics and Vincristine. This time we'll also add an IGg infusion since those levels are on the low side too.
Francesca finished up her very first midterms as a high schooler and we await the result.
Nona is here helping with childcare, laundry, grocery, you name it. I still find I get tired easily and just need to sit. In all other respects I'm doing well. Kind neighbors and friends are walking the dogs and bringing in food.
Paul continues to juggle all our doctors appointments and work as well as 4AM swimming carpool. It's tough on him, so say an extra prayer for him today if you can. We gotta keep that guy healthy!
