Z had an appt w/the oncologist today. We got there and had to wait and Z at 3 ounces by bottle. The waiting room there is set up for folks to be there for several hours (for transfusions and such) and they have lots of stuff for kids and adults.
They changed the dressing on his line and were able to get blood from it! Because of that, we are looking at doing his new line on the 26th unless it clogs up then we will do it sooner. Z was in such a good mood, he smiled and cooed and won over a few more people. His red cell count was great and the white cell count went down! It was down from 24k to 13k! Dr. Rob said it may be still from his last chemo. I am trying not to get too excited and read too much into and just take it as a great sign that he doesn't get chemo today! The nurse will check his blood on Thurs or Friday and that will determine if we do chemo again and when.
Tomorrow we go down to Childrens and start the process for a match!
Anyway, today was a good day and we will take all of those we can!
