Clinic


We had clinic again on Monday, complete with back poke. His counts were way low so we will keep him home from school this week. It's pretty awesome we have made it through the year without having to take him out before now:) Dr. Afiffy was concerned with his biliruben #'s so she had them run blood work on his liver. One of them came back high (unconjegated) but the other was normal so we went ahead with chemo. I will take him to Logan Regional next Monday for a blood draw to see if we can send him back to school. We have taken him off his chemo he gets every night for now. The doctor thinks he is still just having a reaction from the higher dosages we had him on a few months back.
He was so cute when they were putting him out for his back poke. He was trying so hard to stay awake! They put the versed in and he just kept talking so when she changed syringes to the ketamine he says "I love this part". When he woke up he kept saying "where am I". (I hate that part.) He was wiped out and slept most of the evening but no puke to clean up!!! Back in four weeks:)
