A good week.

What a week we have had. We didn't even do anything and that's what makes it so good. We have finished our chemo and are playing the waiting game now. Today his ANC was at 0 which is right where we want to be. We also have been able to keep his line intact all week.YEAH!!! We move his line so it now goes over his shoulder and has a lot of tape to hold it in place, this way if it does get pulled on it puts tension on the tape and his shoulder and not the weak points in his line. As we enter this stage of the treatment it is different for us. Last time Critter was really sick when we came in and by the time we had finished our chemo he was much healthier and happier. The difference is that he was healthy and happy when we came in but now he is tired and sick again(they say this is normal). Some other things are happening too. Because his platelets are low he is getting bloody noses we he cries and he is occasionally throwing up, neither of which are really that bad (except now our sink smells like vomit yuck!). All and all we have had a pretty good week.
