Ok.. we are starting to see the light. I just had a cup of coffee so I could stay awake past 9pm tonight and get some work done. I’ve got updates on everyone tonight…
Liam is at the mid-way point of his three week cycle. This last round of drugs was not as hard on the white blood cells, but definitely on the red. His energy level and coloring are lacking. We are having the 1st visit form the Visiting Nurses Association tomorrow to do blood-work; I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up needing a blood transfusion this week. I’m hoping all goes well with the VNA appointment because we are hoping to use them for both outpatient chemo and blood-work as much as possible in the coming months. We are also seeing a new side of Liam’s personality. He can be quite demanding, especially when Troy is in the room, he’s also taking a funny liking to shoes. Not only does he like wearing them, but I swear he checks out everyone’s feet when they walk in the room.
Troy is now two weeks and two days old. He’s settling in nicely with the family, and I think he’s the first of the boys who actually sleeps at night and is awake during the day; at least that’s what I recall about Owen, Jack and Liam… they all seemed to want to sleep during the day and play at night. Bridgett is still carrying around the kidney stone, but is scheduled to have it blasted next Wednesday.
Owen and Jack started school this week. Owen is back at Roland Green five days a week. Jack is at Mansfield Children’s center three days a week, and we just signed him up for a tumbling class as well.
Lots to coordinate. On top of it all, I go back to work next Wednesday. On one hand I’m not looking forward to the return, on the other hand, it will be a lot quieter at work than at home!!!
If Liam’s counts are good tomorrow, we are going to head to the cape for the weekend. He should be on schedule for the next round of chemo to start September 24. Here are a bunch of pictures from the last week.
