Andrew met his homeroom class at Monroe on Thursday, and it was fantastic!  His classmates were very supportive and excited to learn about Andrew, and made him feel very welcome.  He can’t wait until the Spring when he can join them fulltime.  Thank you Mr. Walkers class! 

He was admitted to the hospital Friday the 9th because he felt really sick and when we checked his blood counts, they had dropped in half from the previous day.  This usually means he has caught a bug, so he got lots of antibiotics, and we hoped his counts would recover by Monday for chemo.  However, his counts have yet to recover, but he is feeling much better.  He was released last night at 8:00pm and we will continue to check his counts and when they reach 1,000 we will do chemo.  He is very excited because he has been able to eat small, lowfat, snacks and have been keeping them down…WOO HOO Botox!!!  I will update soon, thank you for all the support and kind words!
