Day 12

Hi Everyone,

It's the end of day 12 and am now counting down the days till the weekend. Charlie had a busy day today. His platelets were very low this morning and needed a platelet transfusion. Once he had his transfusion he was able to have his spinal tap done. Platelets are very important so Charlie doesnt bleed uncontrollably during these procedures. The procedure went well as planned and probably won't have to havenone for another couple weeks. Charlie started the chemo pill again today and will continue to take it unil Friday. If all goes as planned, Friday will be the last day of chemo for the month. Charlie will be able to go home soon if his blood counts are high enough. Yay!! This could take a week to two weeks. He can't wait to go home. Charlie is hanging in there, but is uncomfortable just laying in bed all day. Since he is vulnerable to catching infections he is pretty much restricted to his room. Visitors are still welcome, but only healthy ones! You will need to wash your hands and wear a mask before entering. I am still so proud of charlie. He amazes me everyday with his courage and strength. Thank you to everyone who reads the blog and for everyone that keeps us in your prayers. We love you all!
