I remember this little boy

Hayden’s gone more than two weeks since his last chemo treatment. It’s certainly not an ideal situation but it sure is nice to spend a little time with the real Hayden. If fact, we didn’t know how much we missed his true personality until now. His smile, sense of humour, affection…all of it returned as the drug side-effects subsided. What a sweetie. In fact, he seemed to forget about his problems for a bit….however, reality quickly set in after a nose-dive into the area rug when he bolted off the couch to run across the room. Call us crazy for laughing but we did…all three of us howled and it felt just like old times. This might be the little break we needed to recharge.

Our next clinic visit is Tuesday, March 10. That’s when we find out if his blood counts are high enough to start the next treatment phase. Neutrophils have to be at least 0.75…they were 0.17 last Tuesday. So wish us big numbers (blood counts not temps!) so we can get back to our regularly-scheduled programming...and kick some cancer butt!
