Friday, Day 17 of Treatment

Well Thursday our White Blood Cell count was down again (boo!), but today it was up!  We really have no idea how many 'up' days we'll  need before we get a break from the hospital but we're happy any day we go up.  Hopefully this means his levels have bottomed out and he's on his way up.  People keep saying "he must be so run down" but he seriously hasn't missed a beat.  Still running around the halls, jumping up and down, and singing Christmas tunes.  We are blessed that he is handling it so well.

We had another special visitor today.  Charlie the therapy dog!  Everett was able to walk him around the floor and we took some pictures.  Couldn't get a smile but Everett thought it was great!

Saturday is week three for Daddy, Grammy, and Everett.  Daddy will be going home on Sunday and Mommy might be coming down tonight or tomorrow with Avery!  Everett is very excited and Daddy could use a break from the hospital.  We're going to see how Avery handles sleeping at the Ronald McDonald House.  Hopefully well, so Mommy and Daddy can see each other more than one a week over these many months of treatments.

Special thanks for Pastor Tom for stopping by today and bringing Everett a book.  It's always nice to have a visitor.
