.jack update.

Jack went into the clinic today, for his monthly chemo and a spinal tap, only to have the spinal tap postponed for another month because his counts were too low. We have been fighting a bad cold here for the past week, with fevers and stuffy heads and lots of runny noses. Jack had been dealing with a low grace fever off and on for a couple days, and a pretty severe cough resulting in a lot of nebulizer treatments. He seems to be feeling better, but this cold/fever thing has his counts really low. His ANC was only 800. In the past, when Jack is sick with a cold of some sort, his ANC goes way high. So I was actually surprised that it had dropped so low. So after a shorter visit to the clinic to get his IV Chemo and counts checked, they listened to his breathing and the anaesthesiologist was not comfortable putting him under with the wheezing she heard, along with the low counts. So we go back in two weeks for a count check/blood draw and in one month for the spinal tap. As we approach...

First Day of School

And we're back! I keep getting feedback from a few readers, that my absence from blogging has them wondering how we are doing! Well, we are doing great, and I think I will be able to be a more faithful blogger this fall, since one of my babies is now IN SCHOOL!!! Yup, that is right, Tyler boy is off to Kindergarten this year! He was so excited this morning and has been counting down the sleeps until he started his first day. He missed the first week of school, as we were away on a family vacation, but hey, it's kindergarten right? This morning, was exciting for him, getting his new school clothes out and backpack on. Watching him walk into that big building, he looks so small. I know he is going to love it, and I am so excited to watch him grow as he learns to read and about science and math. What fun, to be at the beginning of watching your child go to school. Of course, I made him stand for a bunch of pictures... gotta document the first day your first born goes to school!!
