Count update

Oliver's WBC is 4.3 today with an ANC of 2365
Which is great!
He will continue with his treatment tomorrow receiving the vincristine and they will up the dose of the methotrexate since his counts are good. He had some mouth sores last week that the other mouth wash they prescribe took care of after a couple of days (we caught them early) but he will most likely get them again with the upped dosage as well.

His reds are all good just below normal range accept for his excellent platelets.

His hair is still coming in, but may thin out again due to these next 3 treatments.
He just had a visit from his OT from school. He was in a great mood and they had a great session.

We have been revisiting the potty training. He will go p if I put him on the potty before bed usually. He does get M&M's (this makes him want to get on the potty). We will need to really ramp that up. I know he can do it, he just doesn't have the time to tell us he has to go when he does.. he is too busy!

Next checks are next week Tuesday and Friday with a treatment scheduled for the 19th (this one starts off with a Lumbar Puncture (spinal)).
We anticipate he will have low counts in between the next treatments so we need to be careful still.
