chemo on hold again

We have been blessed to still be at home - almost 2.5 weeks and counting now without a hospitalization! Ethan had his pre-chemo bloodwork on Monday in hopes of being able to start the round of chemo this week that was put on hold last week. His counts came back showing some improvement but he is still neutropenic and way below the goal of 750 and so his chemo is again put on hold for another week.

So, we will have bloodwork checked again next Monday April 14th and will resume chemo next Wednesday if he makes goals. His team continues to assure me that it is very normal to put chemo on hold like this, and that it can just take more time for his body to recover when he is in the midst of treatment.

Our prayer requests remain the same! Please pray that Ethan's body makes white blood cells to get his counts up and that he (and the rest of us) stays infection free!

I'm not sure which is more precious here - Ethan's closed eyes and Cards cap, or Eloise's sweet "cheese" face. :)
