Chemo round 7


Jax and I took ourselves to see the "Lightening Thief" to forget his low ANC count yesterday. Right by the movie theatre is a "Five Guys Burgers and Fries" restaurant so we went in to have dinner there before the show and this is what we saw;

We were giddy when we saw that sign behind the cashier. We told her we were from Royal City and she said "Oh, Thank Heavens, where is it? People have been asking me all day!" Jackson and I decided it was a good sign that Royal City had found us in Seattle! Then it was on to the movie and it was Jax and I alone in a 200 seat theatre--fun! After the movie started 3 more people came in but for a minute that baby was all ours.

I saved the best news for last, his count were high enough. 819 for his ANC up from 630 yesterday (it has to be above 750 for chemo to be administered). We are so grateful to all of you for your prayers (and fasting!). We know that is why we were able to move forward today. No on to our next problem, Jax has to dress up like Apolo Ohno for a school report, speed skating outfit anyone???

I'm SO glad his counts were high enough for him to start chemo. yeah!!!!

That is awesome those potatoes were from Royal! Crazy!!! You were meant to be there that day to explain where it is. :)

That is too funny about the restaurant sign. I think it was a good omen! Plus... if you had known before you left Royal City that Jackson's ANC was too low, and drove over today instead of yesterday, you would have hit a major snow storm on the pass and would have had to chain up. See, it all turns out ok somehow! Hooray for a great day!!

You know Royal City has the best potatoes. I'm so glad his ANC counts were up. They're kind of pesky little things aren't they? You failed to mention how the movie was though. And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a picture of Jax in the speed skating outfit. Spandex rules.
