September 11, 2007

We finally have a date for the next Exam Under Anesthesia (EUA). It will be Monday, September 17. I have been told that it will be the first exam of the day, and then we should be going over to get the next round of chemo as long as the exam's news is favorable.

David's counts yesterday were good. They said that it seems that he has recovered and that we don' t have to take him to get blood drawn until after the next round of chemo. So, he will avoid getting stuck one time before it all starts over again.

The little guy has been sleeping very well the last two nights. It's like we are getting back into a good routine again. Too bad it won't last very long, but we will take what we can get. I know that a few nights of good sleep will be good for me before we start down the next slippery slope.

We have all been fighting colds - David included. I think Rob is finally over his, and I though Hannah's was done until she woke up in the middle of the night unable to breathe through her nose again. I think I am on the mend, but would really like for all of us to be better before Monday. So that is a prayer request.

I think that this next round of chemo could take David a little lower than it did last time. I am trying to prepare myself for this, but really don't know how to do that. I am trying to get the house in tip top shape again so that I don't have to worry about that if I have to comfort him all day instead of doing work. I don't have much left to do to get to that point.

Well, that is the news. Thank you to everyone who has brought us meals, or given us gas cards. They are so appreciated!
