December 10, 2007

We took David over to Duke today in hopes that he would be able to get his 5th round of chemo, but no dice. He is doing much better than he was on Thursday and Friday, but his counts are still neutrapenic, so we will have to delay until his counts are higher.

He woke up on Saturday morning feverless, and has been that way since. We were so grateful for this since his fever on Friday was pretty high. He still has a bit of wheezing and a pretty nasty cough, but it seems like he is on the mend.

The plan for now is to get his counts on Thursday, and see if he is healthy enough to get chemo on Friday. Otherwise, we will take him back on Monday and hope for the best.

I am a little disappointed. I was hoping to get his chemo today so that the end would be sooner, but I am grateful that the doctors are being cautious.

In other news, David is now crawling and sitting up on his own. He is very inquisitive, and keeps me busy trying to keep him out of places that he shouldn't be. But, he seems to be happy with his new tricks

Thanks for all your prayers. I feel like this battle with RSV has been much milder than it could have been, and we attribute that to the prayers of God's people and His abundant grace.
