Mommy, I Love You

Tonight, Alex walked up to me, and said:
"Mommy, I love you...The doctors are making...I'm feeling much better"

Wow, that just took my breath away. He is so in tune to both Eric and me.

See, earlier today, I took Alex to school. I had his preschool Parent/Teacher conference, and as soon as I sat down, I started crying. I pretty much cried for the full 1/2 hour conference. His teacher said great things about Alex - and I just lost it! I'm sure I scared the next parent who was waiting to have her conference, as I walked out all red-eyed, runny-nosed, and puffy.

I got a cup of coffee, and composed myself before picking Alex up from school early for his doctors appointment.

Whew, we really have an amazing son!

No Chemo This Week

Alex's ANC is still only 100 as of today - so we'll wait another week to make sure his numbers climb back up before starting "Interim Maintenance".

Part of me is glad for the reprieve, and part of me is chomping at the bit to start the next round as soon as possible...

Ding Dong - We're Going Home!

Doctor just came in - we are checking out in about an hour!!!!

Cross Your Fingers!

The doctors just came in - and if Alex stays fever-free today, they *might* let us go home TODAY - we'll see - my fingers are already cramping from crossing so hard!

You should see our room today - mass chaos - since Alex feels better, we are living in a room with a caged wild monkey!!!

ANC is 100

Whew! It's on the rise. Alex still has a bit of a temperature, so we aren't sure when we'll be getting out yet, but we are on the back-end of this stay!
