2 Down, 2 To Go
God surpassed all of our expectations once again ! Luke's ANC went from 400 to 1400 this week so they admitted us into the hospital for his second of four cycles of Chemotherapy yesterday April 7. The doctor said this will be the hardest of the four cycles. He has been a champ though. After about five hours of pre-hydration, he had one hour of Carboplatin, one hour of Etopiside and 15 min of Doxo followed up by hydration until we were discharged this afternoon. One of the medications caused Luke to pee bright orange, which he thought was hilarious ! He woke up this morning with some aches and pains, but got up and dressed and was in the playroom feeling fine soon after. Daddy buckled him into his car seat for the trip home, and as we pulled out of the hospital parking lot he said "That was a nice sleepover!"

Luke won't let me give him a buzz cut...yet. Its falling out a little every day.
ReplyDeleteSo great to hear the good news of your week. Love you guys and see you soon. He is risen, He is risen Indeed! (Yes, Christian is driving....I'm glad you got out of the way quickly at wal-mart...lol..jk..he is actually a really good driver!)
ReplyDeleteLuke, I've been missing you in church on Sundays. I know you'll be back soon with plenty of stories to tell. I'm glad you had a great sleepover at the hospital. And I hope the color of your pee goes back to yellow. Happy Easter to all if we don't see you. Love and prayers to our little warrior.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing. Also, if Luke won't get a buzz cut, have him go around to bushes and leave strands of hair for the birds to make their nest with. Make a game of it. When he is up to looking like his dad, they can buzz their heads together (no pun intended). Just a thought. I love you guys!!
