We came in last Tuesday and his ear was infected, but the meds for it have worked great. He was also bordering low counts so we returned last Thursday and got blood and platelets. Plus, he got his vincristine again last week.
Over the weekend he did fairly well. Seems a little weak and tired, but not terribly. He has vomited a little. He's also cut weight. We're in the clinic right now and I was surprised to hear he is only 43 lbs today. Back to three cans instead of two in addition to what he eats on his own.
All else is well. It's very hot around here these days. It's a lot like AZ. It's frustrating because you have to wait till evening before you can get the kids outdoors. However, there is always a nice breeze that helps relieve some of the heat.
If counts are good today, we won't have to come back for three weeks. We are just waiting to hear.
Hope you all had a great weekend and have a wonderful week. <3
