It's Monday, we must be due at the clinic

Just a brief recap: back to the clinic to check blood counts. His white cells and neutrophils have rebounded enough that he can be in public, but his platelets are still a long way from recovering. It gave him yet another opportunity to beat me at Mario Party on the Wii - you'd think I'd be getting better at it by now!

His platelets were back down to 16 this morning, meaning we had to hang out in the clinic until he received another transfusion. We are so grateful for all the wonderful donors!

We'll be back in the clinic on Wednesday to check his counts again - in theory Chemo 13 should have started tomorrow, but that cannot happen until his platelets are safely above 75. Maybe by the end of this week - who knows? We know by now not to plan too far ahead!

Anyways, we are hanging in there, hope you all are too. Take care,
Thomas' Mom
