If at first you don't make counts .. try .. try .. again.. next week

Connor was so close.. but didn't have high enough counts to be admitted this week, so we'll try again next Wednesday!!

The hearing test is still showing some changes in his hearing in the upper ranges, no changes that would require hearing aids at this point. We are aware hearing loss was one of the side effects from some of his chemo meds, so it's something we are still keeping a close eye on.

Thanks for all of the positive thoughts and well wishes! Our fingers are crossed for next week.

Last cycle ...

Connor's last cycle is scheduled to start today.

Our first appointment this morning will be to check his hearing (One side has started to show some decline in high frequencies, we're hoping for minimal changes from his test today!)... please send your good thoughts his way.

After the hearing test we'll make our way to clinic, He'll get accessed, have labs drawn (to see if he "meets" his "magic" number of 750 or higher),and if so we will be admitted for his last overnight chemotherapy stay. Preliminary results from Monday showed him at 566 (So our fingers are crossed extra tight that those cells are working hard!!).

He's in great spirits this morning, he's really hoping he gets an overnight stay, .. but he's disappointed it may be his last.
