Grant was count dependent this week, so we did lab work yesterday. His ANC needed to be up to .75 before he could continue with more chemo, and we weighed in at .6, so we get the week off!
I am actually relieved that we get another couple of days before we start our 2 weeks of Ara-C. Grant is just starting to act like himself, post steroids, and we could use a little normalcy before starting again. The Ara-C is the only chemo that actually makes Grant sick. We will do it for 4 days in a row for two weeks starting next Tuesday. This will be our last big punch of chemo before Maintenance is scheduled to begin. On our current schedule, and barring any unforeseen hospital stays for fever or infection, Maintenance will start on December 18th. The best Christmas present ever!
As for today, Grant will go on his first field trip with his Kindergarten class. We missed his first trip because he was at UNC doing Peg shots! So, today he will get to go to the Beaufort Historic Grounds and learn about making butter, and milking cows, and early Thanksgivings in North Carolina. Kevin will do the bus ride with him and I will meet them in town. Grant is very excited to ride the bus. I am not so excited about him riding the bus, but he has agreed to wear a mask, so a compromise has been reached!
We will post pictures later.
Have a wonderful Fall day!

Grant just called from his fieldtrip- he said he had put his head in the guillotine! He sounded so happy and like himself.
I can tell Grant's swelling has begun to go down- and he has had several days of no crying! That's a good thing.
Beautiful day-
I'm so tickled to see this new report! I may be far away but always thinking of you guys... :)
