Chemo Exhaustion

Alex's counts are low, and the effects of his heavy doses of Chemo, including steroids, are showing.

He fell asleep at the dinner table tonight at 5:30 - he is still asleep. We have to wake him up in a few minutes to give him his evening Chemo before putting him to bed for the night.

He had a great day at school - and no sign of a fever - but this round of Chemo each month wipes him out.

Since yesterday morning, he has had:

9 steroid pills

5 1/2 Methotrexate pills

IV Vincristine

2 1/2 Mercaptapurine pills

2 Previcid pills

1 dose Zofran

I hope he has the energy for school, and to fight off any possible illnesses. He's been coughing a bit today...
