Lucas had platelets transfusion, then Vincristine and Peg-A chemo yesterday before we went home in the afternoon. While he was in the hospital, he was given broad spectrum IV antibiotics every day. I think that's why he had a little stomachache followed by diarrhea yesterday evening. So it's good that we need to be fasting this morning, giving his tummy a break.
I think the hardest part for consolidation phase has passed. Next week will just be Vincristine and lumbar puncture. And the four weeks to follow would be a repeat but with no lumbar punctures - so we wouldn't need to come both Mondays and Tuesdays.
I'm still a little worried that while his Hemoglobin and platelets keep dropping, his WBC did not. Supposedly the chemo should decrease all counts.
I just found your blog on the ALL group page, Lucas is just as cute as can be. I added you to my own blog of our cancer fighting friends. Hailey was diagnosed in October of 2011 so we are just half way through. We adopted her and her sister from Vietnam and we have a little girl adopted from China also. I'll keep y'all in our prayers.

Hello, Trish,
DeleteGreat to know you, and I think three girls are very lucky to have you as their parent. I will add your blog to ours too.
Please keep in touch to let us know how Hailey is going in the future.
Higher healthy WBC could be a good thing. Maybe he is recovering better than others.
ReplyDeleteWe would rather see normal response than anything unusual, whether it was good or bad.
