Neutrophils wanted

Clinic visit today - neutrophils are ZERO. Not low....non-existent. This is the longest stretch we've had so far. Typically, Hayden's blood counts bounce back up near the end of treatment but this time...not so much. Oh well, if we delay the next phase, it will be the first time. That's pretty good.

And surprisingly, his weight was down today. Sheesh. He needs to be better hydrated. That will also help his chapped lips.

So now some good news...let's see...his mouth soars are clearing up. He's neutropenic but not spiking a fever or getting sick. He got JT in the Survivor pool. He's still super cute. And, most of the time, a pretty happy kid. How's that for lemonade. mreh.
