Luke here...Not much to write. I realized we hadn't added anything since Thursday and figured I should add something so people keep coming to the journal. It was an uneventful weekend. Nathan's counts are up so he is feeling pretty good. Friday he got to play with some friends and go to lunch with all his little buddies at the food court at the mall (Don't tell his oncs) and had a good time. He played outside a lot and in general had a good weekend. Susan and I both got out this weekend too which is good for us. Thanks to Erik, Daelyn, Max, and Mindy for their efforts to get us out of the house.
This morning Nathan will go in for his counts. There may be a need for either a red blood cell or platelet transfusion. If he needs red blood cells there is a chance he would need to get that transufion late in the afternoon at the hospital because they can't get them that quickly at the clinic. We'll just have to see. Tomorrow we will be in Denver for the first day of stem cell harvest. It should just be a long day of Nathan hooked up to the machine and basically confined to a small area. Hopefully books, toys, and videos will keep him well enough occupied. We'll be doing at least two days of harvest and hopefully only two. He'll then have a pretty free weekend and start cycle 4 of chemo on Monday. Since he will be starting his chemo cycle on his birthday, we will celebrate that sometime this weekend.
That is it for now.
