September 2nd

Day 3 of school and all is going well. Like Seth has told you he is really enjoying being with his friends again. He does not seem embarrassed about wearing his foot braces or not having hair but he did tell me that it bothers him to hear his feet slapping, due to his foot drop, in the hallways of the school. I am sure no one else really hears it but you know how it is when you are self conscious of something, you hear it 10 times more then anyone else. Everyone has been so good to him and for that I am very thankful.
I just heard from Johns Hopkins about Seth's blood counts and once again his platelets are low(28,000), his white blood counts are at 1,200 which is OK and his red blood counts (give your body energy) are low. He will be getting his blood drawn on Tuesday to see if his counts came up. This whole process is getting old and tiring. Do not get me wrong, I am very grateful for all of the good things that have happened through this journey but, it gets to a point when you are just tired. Pray for protection for Seth since his platelets are so low and also that his blood counts come up by Tuesday.
