We have thankfully been enjoying lots of time at home this past week! Ethan really started to feel better and have a lot more energy late last week and so we also got a chance to get out a bit more this weekend which was nice. He had lab work done today and results came back showing that his counts are over 1800 now (up from the 200s last week). Great news indeed and not surprising since he has been feeling so good.
So with his counts up his chemo schedule resumes tomorrow and we start the next phase in his treatment called Interim Maintenance. This phase lasts about 56 days and consists of treatment every 10 days or so. Tomorrow (Wednesday) his Day 1 and he will be sedated and have intrathecal chemo along with 2 IV chemos as well. We will also go back to the clinic on Thursday to have another IV chemo as well.
Since tomorrow is also Eloise's birthday (!) it will be a busy day. Please pray for Ethan's treatment - that his sedation would go smoothly and that he will get through chemo okay. And for my girl on her big 2nd birthday! How my heart hurts to not be able to spend the entire day with her - but we are hoping to make it a special day as best we can, starting with a special daddy/daughter breakfast. :) Please pray that we get to really celebrate her tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers!
