November 4th

Seth's appointment went well yesterday. His blood counts are not at what I was hoping for but they said with as much chemo as he had it would take awhile for his body to recover fully. Seth's white counts are 1,500 (up), platelets 64,000 (down), red count 8.6 (same), and ANC 800 (up). Seth's red counts are low enough for another transfusion but because of the chemo treatments being over they are going to see if it can come up on its own. His next appointment is for Friday Nov. 13th for labs and to talk to the surgeon about taking out Seth's port. If his counts are high enough for surgery it looks like they will remove the port by Thanksgiving. That will surely be something to be thankful about!
Some of you might remember a brave little boy named DJ who we have asked for prayer for . That brave little boy got his angel wings. Please remember his family in your prayers.
