We have had a great week and getting ready for our big trip. We leave Saturday for Disney World through the Make A Wish Foundation. They have granted Nicholas his wish and we will be staying at Give Kids the World. The kids are super excited and even Tom is walking around the house calling for Mickey Mouse. Greg & I are a little stressed and trying to get everything ready, but hey, no complaints we just want to get there. Nicholas learned how to ride his bike last week with no training wheels. We have been trying with him for a couple of months now and he was never interested in learning. I think he has seen some of his friends in the neighborhood ride and wants to join them. Nicholas has been feeling well but his counts do not show it. I took him to clinic yesterday and found out his counts had dropped. On the advice of our nurse we decided to keep Nick home today, as a precautionary. If he gets a fever, he would be admitted. He is acting great and you would not know it, but we also do not want to miss our trip.

WBC: 2.6
RBC: 10.1
Plts: 441 - this is high and has been, I guess it goes hand in hand with whatever virus he is fighting off
APC: 1,100 - high enough to receive his methotrexate
ANC: 300 - anything below 500 you get admitted if you have a fever, they consider you neutropenic

I will be updating one more time before we leave...... Friday Oct. 15th 2010.... 2 years ago on this same day..... Karen
