September 5, 2007

We had a nice long weekend! Monday, we got to celbrate Isaac's birthday with my parents, Grandma Goodall (G'ma G.), and Melissa and Elijah. It was a very fun, although hot, day. We went to the local "zoo", fed the ducks at a pond, blew a plethora of bubbles in the front yard, and just hung out. It was nice.

David's counts were every which way again yesterday. His hemoglobin is looking good, but his platelets were down, and so was his ANC (Absolute Nutraphil Count). It is obvious that the chemo is still working on him. I am just hoping that I don't have to start his shots back up again until the next round since I think they bother him. We have heard and read that these shots can make patients' bones ache.

The little guy has been somewhat more fussy again yesterday and today. I think that it is possible that he is coming down with the cold that the rest of us have had. Hopefully it won't hit him hard, but I am coming to realize that it will be nearly impossible for us not to spread things to him. We are washing hands all the time and keeping out of his face, but I think he is still bound for it. I am praying that we will all stay well this upcoming cold season so that David will stay well too.

I will leave you today with a few pictures that you may enjoy. More updates to come!
