Out On The Town

Well, X had his clinic appointment yesterday and everything went well. He did his spinal chemo again without being sedated. He is one tough cookie! Even the Dr who did his procedure was surprised at how well he handled it. We had lots of questions now that X has been doing better and having more energy. His Dr said that he can go out in public a little bit now, as long as we are cautious and he doesn't overdo it. I think he is most excited to go to a movie. (a matinee, he will wear a mask, and we will sanitize his seat first...) Its hard to believe it has been about a year since he has been to the theater. As far as going back to school goes, I think we will play it by ear and see how he is doing. The Dr said he may as well just wait and go back in 6th grade, I thought he might want to go back at the end of this school year to be there for all the fun stuff...guess we will see who wins this battle. =) Like last month, we will do bloodwork in 2 weeks to see where his counts are (as of yesterday they were 780, not great because he has had a cold) and we go back to clinic in 4 weeks for chemo. I will let you know how he is doing soon. Maybe I can get him to post a movie review after we go to the theatre!

Love, Cherie
