Clinic Monday

Monday at the clinic was just about like any other clinic day for us, only there were a lot more patients than usual. We decided to order pizza for everyone and handed out chocolate eggs in between art projects.

Carsons counts are a bit elevated so the oral chemo will increase slightly. Other than that, it is the usual, begin the round of steroids, continue methotrexate, etc. etc.

Our day was a bit shorter than planned as we found out Carson's IGg level was actually just a few points under what is considered a "transfusable level". Once deciding not to do the infusion, we just had a quick chemo push and the pentamadine. We essentially cut 2-3 hours out of our visit with one fell swoop.

Of course, then we couldn't get Carson to leave, but that is another story. (We should have never started zinging that rolling chair back and forth across the infusion area - that is better than an amusement park ride for a 6 year old boy.)

We arrived home just a few minutes before Francesca called for us to pick her and friends up at the metro. They had been at the National Zoo most of the day, along with the rest of Northern Virginia kids on Spring Break.

The weather here is beautiful this morning. I just got back from spinning class and Francesca, Paul and the dogs are heading out for a run. Enjoy your day everyone!
