So here is this week’s update.  Andrew has begun throwing up again, daily, which sucks but he was able to gain a tiny bit this week so we are very happy.  His blood counts are still not recovering, we are hoping that they will, and he is not showing any signs of illness so we have not given him another transfusion.  However, this could  post bone his scheduled chemo admit on the 23rd of this month.  If his body is not strong enough we will need to push it back until it can handle more chemo.  We should know by the 22nd. 

We found out he has a huge cavity in one of his permanent molars and will need to have it filled to prevent a root canal in the near future.  You wouldn’t think this was a big deal, however, while kids are on chemo they are not allowed to have their teeth cleaned etc…because of the huge possibility of the germs in their mouth getting into their blood stream since usually the kids teeth bleed when they are cleaned.  So we will be getting his blood counts taken and pump him full of antibiotics right before and pray for the best. 

He visited with the neurological psychologist yesterday and Andrew enjoyed it quite a bit.  Andrew has some memory loss/troubles that we need to work through but we are hoping a lot of it is in direct correlation to his chemotherapy he is undergoing now.  That is all for now check back soon.
