Well as you can see, we are still in Medicine Hat. You had your blood work done yesterday and your counts had not recovered enough to start chemo today. We will have your blood work done again on Friday to see if your counts have recovered. Your red blood cells were a little low so they suspect that you may need a transfusion on Friday. If your counts recover you will start chemo on Tuesday, in Calgary, due to the long weekend. We were happy and sad with the results. Happy that you will be home longer, which is amazing, but sad that we are delaying your protocol. Delays will stretch things out longer and we are eager to complete your plan sooner than later.
Anyways, we are going to use every minute we have with you. This means more bike rides, backyard playing and definitely more dancing! Also, this gives people a chance to come and say hi that were not able to before due to the short time you and dad were going to be home.
I would like to mention a fundraiser hosted by ARC Resources. They are having a Garage, Bake and BBQ sale for Arc families affected by cancer. It is this Friday at the Arc Resources Ltd. (behind the old Walmart), from 9-3. Thank you to everyone involved!
We are loving every minute with you at home. I cannot describe how it good and normal it feels to have you at home. We definitely have our limitations but are making the best of the time we have. It takes something like this to value a simple walk or bike ride as a family. At this moment you are playing dress up with Abbi and are all dressed up in necklaces and bracelets...so cute!!
Love you buddy,
Mom
