Nick is in the paper. Check it out.

Hi Everyone,
Nick and Colby made the paper for their big day at the State House. They were both so excited to see their picture (in color) in the paper. The link does not show the second picture of the boys. It is the one I posted on the blog recently of the medal and award certificate. We sure wish Tom could of been there for the picture.

We took Nick to clinic yesterday. It was a very busy day at Hasbor Clinic. I decided to bring my dad (Papa Boston) and Tom with me. Tom needed his blood work taken for his 1 yr visit, (I am little behind on the schedule) and my dad wanted to see how the process works at clinic. We were surprised to learn that everyone must wear a mask when you are in the playroom at clinic. If the child can not/will not (due to age) wear a mask then they will be assigned a private room for their visit. Of course, Tom could not wear a mask and there was some confusion going on about 'where to put us', since all the private rooms were taken to by the younger patients. Papa kept Tom out of clinic most of the time and they found us a spot for Nick. I think it is great the pre-cautions they are taking with up coming flu season but makes it a little more crazy at clinic. We will adjust to make sure we keep those bad germs away. Nick's counts were very good.

WBC: 3.7 (a little low)
RBC: 9.1
Plts: 330 (normal)
APC: 2,600 (still a little high and they might adjust the chemo again next week)

Take Care, Karen
