Holding down the fort without the boss here

Karen is away on business for the first time since Nick was diagnosed. The boys miss mom but enjoy running all over me. Nick finally got his H1N1 shot at clinic Monday. They will not have any for Karen or I as they first anticipated. Our Nurse was telling me that the staff has not received it yet and may not get it through the clinic either. We are still scurring to try and get the other two immunized but we don't know when that will happen. Nick had a little unusual drop in his APC this week. It went from 2400 to 1200 even though he was on steroids (Usually steroids bump his APC..the opposite happened.) It could be attributed to the fact that Nick had a high white blood cell count last week that we think was caused by his body fighting a little cold, therefore his APC was pushed higher and now that his white blood cell is back down the APC dropped as well. No large concern shown by our Nurse Practitioner, I guess we will see what next week brings. It is now time to get kids to bed. Have a great week.
Sincerely,
Greg
