Clinic… Day 989 01AUG11

Joshua got up early and got ready to head out to the clinic. Today he was scheduled for labs, vincristine, and his pentam breathing treatment and he will start steroids this afternoon. His ANC was down a little to 1100 from it's normal level of about 1500 so it is not a real steep decline. We think he has been fighting off something for the last few days which would explain the drop. His port access went well and he got his vincristine without incident. He got finished right around lunch time and was headed back whenI called on my way to work. Renee's mom had gone with the boys this morning and they all decided to go shop for some shoes for the boys. Joshua is really hard on his shoes and his current pair were well beyond the worn out stage. They managed to find some shoes that both the boys really liked and they were keen to show them off when I got home this evening. The rest of the afternoon was run of the mill and all was quiet this evening, no monster sightings as of now :)
