Two hands, 10 fingers. It's within our grasp.
It now only takes two hands to count the days of chemo left. Before
tonight's dose of mercaptopurine, he only has 10 days of chemo left.
That means he has completed 900 days of chemo. To put it in
perspective, Nate is only 2467 days old.
Of course, the fun isn't over. Next Tuesday Nate will have a spinal
tap and a bone marrow aspiration. They'll be checking for cancer
cells. If I'm a little blue that morning, it'll surely be from
holding my breath. He will continue to do his bloodwork on a monthly
basis, and every 4 months will have a spinal to check for
relapse. Even when the cancer is over, it's not over.
We were up at Nana and Papa's house for the 4th of July. We had a
nice time, the kids did a bunch of swimming in the lake, and all the
crazy cousins where there with our crazy kids. We watched fireworks
on the 4th, and Christa and I, being a little crazy ourselves, packed
the kids in to the car and headed home about 11:30pm. We got home a
little before 3am. Gotta say, the kids travelled well and there wasn't
much traffic.
Thanks for checking in!
