Low blood counts, Week #30

June 22nd Update:

We took Isaac in for his weekly blood draw this morning and the results were unfortunately too low for chemo this week. So looks like Isaac and mom get a day off tomorrow instead of a day with docs 😊.  I kind of anticipated he may be too low this week as they were very border line last week. 
But Isaac isn't missing a beat, besides being perhaps a bit more tired he is still as active as ever and very playful as of late.


Prayers appreciated for Isaacs counts to raise back to normal and that he doesn't catch a bug while his immune system is down. Thanks!

Chemo - Week 29

June 16th Update:

Isaac had his 29th treatment on Thursday. They had to decrease his chemo dose again because his blood counts we got checked on Wednesday were low, in fact he barely made counts. This was the first time they've been low since we've moved to the Des Moines area. He seems to tolerate the lower dose much better so perhaps it will be best to just stick with the low dose for the remainder or the treatment... Only time will tell 😊

As you can see here, Isaac was pretty happy during his appointment.

Chemo - Week 28

June 9th Update:

Isaac had his mima from Texas get to come with him to his week #28 chemo! His counts have continued to be good so it appears he is finally tolerating this well! 😊

Chemo - Week 27

June 2nd Update:

So I totally forgot to get Isaac's blood counts on Wednesday. So we had to go in to the hospital early on Thursday to double check his counts before they gave him his chemo.  Luckily, his counts were still good.  But I was flabbergasted as to how I could have forgotten to take him for blood work. I've only been taking him every Wednesday for over a year now. 😉 geez haha  I'll chalk it up to the memorial day weekend throwing my days off this week.

Isaac did well. We are now on the downward slope of weeks left!!
