Zane had his last lumbar puncture in the consolidation phase and Zac made his counts to start part 2 of the consolidation phase. I was shocked that he met them, they had prepared us that kids usually get a week off due to low counts. I took both boys in yesterday for labs. We wanted to make sure Zane didn't need a blood transfusion or platelets before his procedure today. Since I was taking Zane in we also decided to check to see where Zac was on his counts. It was nice knowing he made counts yesterday because the chemo he had today has hydration requirements and last time we had a hard time getting him to those requirements. Last night we fed him a lot of watermelon and he drank of ton of water. This morning on his first try he met the requirements. Zac was able to start his chemo while Zane got his lumbar procedure. We were out of the hospital by 1:00 pm. After the long days we have had this was a nice surprise. Today was the first treatment day were I didn't feel completely drained by the end of it. It was nice to get home and just relax for a little while.
Can you tell which kid was able to eat breakfast and which one couldn't?
Zac was is such a good mood this morning.
One of the medical assistants bought the boys some Easter eggs. Zac enjoyed playing with them while Zane had his procedure.
I moved the train table downstairs and the boys had fun playing with it.
