Baby Nicholas woke up around 12:30am last night and really slept terrible. He woke up with a hoarse cough that sounded deep so we called E-clinic and took him straight in. He had no fever but the cough is concerning to us. They said his lungs sound great and its all upper sinus. He needed blood - his hgb was 7.6 so we have a little time to spend in the med room for a transfusion (2 hrs). His platelets are also dropping they were at 66 which means by Friday he will definitely need platelets. His ANC dropped from 10,000 on Monday to 400. So they bumped up his last chemo today the IV push of Vincristine and that officially finishes him up with the full 4 rounds of high dose chemo. He also got pentamidine (1 hr IV drop) which is to stop him from getting a specific type of pneumonia. So happy to be done with chemo but dropping to 0 ANC is the worst part of the round.They told us they think that his throat is sore from the scope test we did with ENT yesterday and the stronger the vocal cord the easier it gets irritated.

Dear Lord,

First I would like to thank you for getting us through the chemo, please bring Nicholas' ANC up fast so he can feel better soon. We need a clean scan next week God Please get us to the next part of treatment. Please Lord, bless our volunteer blood donor today that gave blood for our boy. Please Lord, be with my Dear friend Nicole right now and Baby Wade. My heart is with them daily. We also need to say a special prayer for our friends daughter Kendal and that her treatment plan in Michigan is curing her AML Leukemia.

Please my dear family and friends ...don't just say your praying - I am asking you from my heart to close your eyes and speak to God right now ... really pray for my friends and for our son.
