Day 1 Round 3

The best thing about today is we are over the mountain pass! I never look forward to winter driving---and today I clearly remember why, sigh. Oh well, only 3 or 4 months of bad pass weather right?!
Oncology was way backed up today--over an hour wait just for labs. But we made it through the long day for the week. We saw the Endocrinologists, had lab work, bone age scan, saw the oncologist and had Chemo. His ANC was up to 1,143 and his WBC 3.7. Both a little on the low side for starting Chemo but the HCT and PLT were in the normal ranges. He picked to go to "Red Mill Burgers" for dinner tonight. You may remember it from my wedding anniversary in April--you the date when we ate there and then the GT lost it's transmission in the Target parking lot! It was yummy and the GT cooperated this time! Jax is tired, and sleeping, and has a mouth sore, but still eating and drinking fine. Tonight Sammi had a Young Women's' Evening of Excellence Program and she was supposed to play the violin for it but apparently the "e" string snapped, and cut Courtney's thumb and provided Sammi with a way to play the CD of her music instead of a live performance. Zoe cried to me on the phone tonight, broke my heart a little, if you see her tomorrow give her a hug from her Mom please. Thanks for the prayers.

One (or 2) hugs for Zoe coming right up. Have a peaceful, wait free, no snow on roads day.

So...do you have any good books to read right now. I could give you a few suggestions if you're bored. We are thinking about you and, of course, praying our hearts out. Pass this on to Jax. Mouthwash is good. We love you.

Hope you guy are having a good trip. We love you so much and are praying for you every day. Tell Jax that he is our hero. Love you!
