Grier and I have to go to the clinic this morning to check his blood counts-- if everything looks good we will be admitted from clinic to start the 2nd round of chemo--- I would like to say last round but I do not want to be too positive ( NYC will decide that after this round - we go to have scans in a few weeks)-- The plan is to start as soon as we get to Levine's ( or better yet as soon as pharmacy gets the chemo to our room--) I know they know I am not letting them start chemo at 10:45pm this time-- so that is why I am hoping for a good night! We should have "two sleeps" at LCH and then be able to leave after chemo on Wednesday -- we can finish the remaining 2 days in the clinic-- I am also hoping the irenotecan aka ( "I run to the can" will spare us that side effect this time!!)
I am way behind on emails and other things--- that is just what happens when you are trying to take care of a house, kids, dog, etc. meanwhile going to the doctor almost everyday last week!
We had a pretty good weekend-- Grier was excited to get to go to Grace's soccer game--- he said " Are my counts good enough to go somewhere?"--- Since we were outside we thought it would be fine-- He was surprised with an Alabama Jersey and a car visit from Leila-- he has not taken off the jersey since Saturday-- and our house has the Halloween look now with the help of 2 BIG blow-up pumpkins that Brandi and Rob brought over! We also had a wonderful dinner from a friend that I met through my NY friend, Gretchen ( Liam's mom) and lots of yummy cookies that Thomas and Neil's family brought-- as well as another bag goodies from Zeke-- the binoculars are in the bag to go to the hospital ( so we can spy on people from the 11th floor of the children's hospital) Now all we need is a front room so we can see the creek and Kings Drive!! Also a special thanks to Chris and Kristin Kouri for raffling off an item in honor of Grier at the auction she was putting together- Thanks to EVERYONE-- and excuse this public thank you note but it is the best I can do right now!!
If you have time check this bog out today--- here is the link and I think you might recognize someone in it--- Don't Eat the Shampoo -- Philosophy has added another flavor since the Oatmeal Raisin sold out--- but they still donate 100% of the sales to Cookies for Kids Cancer- Makes a cute gift--- and makes bath time fun--- Grier loves smelling like a cookie after bath--- :)
Another exciting website to look at is Glad to Give--- Glad has partnered with Cookies for Kids Cancer and taken the bake sale to a whole new level!!! They are also matching funds raised from bake sales --- The pictures from the bake sales that Glad has done are amazing-- if you are on facebook join the group-- you will not be disappointed-!
