Sorry for the delay in update on counts. I was in Houston with Miles and Dan was home with Oliver.

Oliver had his spinal and IV chemo yesterday. I heard he was a total sweetheart after he woke from being under from his spinal telling everyone he loved them and the nurses were just tickled and melting.
They increased his chemo meds to 85%, and they also increased his dosage for his steroid since he has grown. Its still just 5 days of steroids. We can already see the mood swings and the difficulty with feeling hungry and eating but not knowing what he wants, etc.
Dan and Oliver picked us up from the airport last night and Miles was so happy to see Dad and Oliver and be home. We let them play for a bit before bed.
Onto 2013. We have 6 more months left! We have two more treatments like this (one in March and one in June), then July 6th is our end date. We'll have a new baby boy at the end of all this as well.
Next check will be on Monday. See you then!
