Done with Chemo!


Yesterday we had our last dose of chemo! Yeah! It was supposed to be 8 days but it took us 9 days because of line breaks. Now we wait. Critter's counts are still not down. His whites are 2.8 his anc is still 800 so we can still venture out of the room at least until Friday (I bet by then his ANC will be below 500 and we will have to stay in). This round went well except for the 6 line breaks, the chest skin bubbling, the bleeding diaper rash, and a few vomiting episodes. Well looking back it wasn't that great but the good points are he slept much better which makes everything easier to handle! He would wake up while he got his eye drops and diaper changes and go back to sleep I think I only rocked him all night once or twice! Last time it was almost every night so it was way better! Also he is way more active this time. He was so sick last time we just held him the whole time this time we chased him! Try containing a one year old on a blanket for weeks on end! Even when he was sick he would stop...throw up... and crawl away! He seems very happy considering his circumstances. He is such an example of being positive whatever situation you are in.
