Hi, Seth had another blood test on thursday morning and the hospital got in touch with me on thursday arvo to let me know that his counts have finally reached the right level for him to continue with the chemo, so we are booked in for a big day at westmead on monday. This will be his last round and then 2 weeks later he will get another bone marrow test to determine his risk category. It is good that things are finally moving after he had to spend 18 days in hospital with a fever and low counts.
Seth is in good spirits at the moment and just happy to be home and getting back to some sense of normality. He has almost lost all of the weight he put on with the steroids and apart from being a little pale is almost back to his old self.
Ali's operation was successful and she came home yesterday and is getting lots of rest. She will be off her feet for quite a while and is still in a bit of pain but is improving each day. She was supposed to come home thursday but some scans showed that she had fluid on the lungs which was the start of pneumonia so they put her on some antibiotics and kept her a bit longer.
Anyway, not much else to tell at the moment, everything is going okay and I will let you all know how he goes on monday. Thanks to everyone who has sent messages of support, they are greatly appreciated.
