Moving… Day 655 30AUG10

Joshua and Renee left early to head for the clinic, I got a little breakfast and headed over to Jamie and Christian's to help them get moved. They are leaving apartment life and have rented a cute little place in Clearwater. The move went really well and we got it all done early this afternoon and with only one trip. Now they get to spend a few days sorting out where things go and how arrange the furniture which is always the fun part of a move. Jarrod was a big help and he worked quite hard. Allie and the furry kids will now have a real bona fide yard to romp around in! I am sure that they will enjoy it immensely.

Renee called while we were unloading the truck to tell me that Joshua's ANC was only 376 and that he had some numbers on his CNC that were elevated that aren't supposed to be. He will have his chemo suspended for the third week in a row. He got accessed and received vincristine today along with his monthly pentmadine treatment for his lungs. Dr. Ross-bach told Renee he wanted to do a bone marrow aspiration to rule out anything too utterly frightening to think about. So tomorrow we will watch them put our baby to sleep yet one more time and he will get bone marrow drawn from his hip for testing. It will probably take a few days for the results to come back which means our sleeplessness will at least be brief. The original plan was to wait a week and then do it which would have meant a full seven days for the monsters in our heads to roam freely and with abandon. The upside is that it is probably nothing, as it has been before, and is merely another ditch in the road filled with alligators that we must wade through.

Oh, did I mention that he also started prednisone again today :)
