Susan here..
We are having a good weekend. Friday Nathan had a red blood transfusion as well as a platelet transfusion. His counts though a little tiny bit higher are still low enough that he needed to stay at home this weekend.
On Saturday Nathan spent the morning at home with Luke while I took Julia to by shoes (unsuccessfully). He and Luke made chocolate cookies around lunch time and then we spent the afternoon hanging around. This morning we went for a hike and a picnic. There is a beautiful park with hiking trails through the forest and also nice grassy areas with big trees so we had a lot of fun.
Tomorrow Nathan will have his echocardiogram and EKG followed by a visit to the clinic to check his counts. He is due to start Chemo on Wednesday but it is highly unlikely that his white blood cell count and platelet count will have recovered to the proper levels to begin chemo by then. Maybe he will be able to play with his friends this week. That is the one upside to him not making counts.
