Andrew had his checkup today.  First the good news, his blood counts looked reasonable which means that he is producing blood cells pretty well right now.  We want this to be happening during his “rest” weeks since the chemo will make them drop when he goes in on the 23rd.  The not so good news is that he has lost 2.5 pounds in one week.  We are starting him on some new medications that will hopefully stimulate his appetite, but looks like we are continuing his nightly fluids until he can keep his weight stable.  He is still in high spirits and keeping a positive attitude even after he throws up.  He is amazing.  He is so strong and continues to help me along too. He wanted to know about some children who have passed away from cancer and after talking about it for a while; he took my hand and said “we will get through this.”  And we will, one day at a time.  Thank you for the continued support and prayers.
