Everyday amazes me, you never know what the day holds or what God has in store for you. We went in for labs today and as I stated I was worried this weeks chemo would be delayed due to Nicholas' ANC possibly being low from Methotrexate (chemo) last week. Well shockingly and thank you Lord his ANC is 1400 today. We started at 800 and he has dropped from this drug every time except this round ... (I say hmmmm to the man upstairs one this one and bravo!) So chemo will not be delayed this week. Tomorrow we have our reviews for speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy to make sure he's still on track doing everything he should be doing for his age. Last month they canceled all his appointments because he was on target and didn't need any appointments. Thursday we have another ABR test, (hearing test) before we do the last round of drugs that can affect hearing. Typically on this protocol they do not do another ABR in between round 3 and 4 but because Nicholas' hearing has been affected already they are monitoring him a little closer.

Dear Baby Nicholas,

You are almost done with chemo here at St. Jude! You have been so strong and yet you have endured more than most adults can handle baby. Yet you do it and still smile, I love you my boy. Stay strong so we can get through this last tail end of chemo - God's gently pushing you along and healing you.
