Count Check

Olivers WBC is 2.9 today with an ANC of 1769
HGB is at 12.4 and 212K for platelets.

He went to school today. He was a little off about it as he has been home for a few weeks that he would not let go of me, and cried as I left, but they called after and said he is doing just fine.

Oliver's has a lot of play time with friends these last few days, and lots of outdoor play.

We will check counts again on Friday, and Monday next week he goes in for the start of the next 12 week cycle.
We did find out that his official end date is July 6th, 2013. That means that he has 5 more full 12 week rounds to go including this one starting on Monday. And the last one starts in June of 2013 but it ends just 3 weeks later since he gets cut off on July 6th of that year. Then within that month they will remove his broviac. He will then get monthly blood checks for the course of a year, after that it will taper down (not sure the amount or time frame) but eventually getting back to just his normal yearly checks.
Its great to know when his treatments end exactly!

Oliver will be going to kindergarten come August! - Its at the school that is 2 blocks over and one block down from our house.

In Miles' news - he's been getting efficient at his method of crawling (not yet fully knee/hand), but has mastered sitting up, and is starting to pull himself up onto things (still very off balance though). He is often seen in the downward dog yoga pose as well while figuring things out. He does enjoy standing with your support though and moves his feet around and 'dances' to music. No teeth yet, but the first two on the bottom are just under the top of his gums ready to pop any day now.

Next update on Friday. Have a good week!
