We got up early and went in to our appt. I wanted to make sure we were out in time. I imagined this mad rush on the LIE because of the snow. It was not too bad but we were out around 2.
We had a good visit, his counts are good and the biopsy results were explained a little better for me. Not that I can write it here, but it is all good and he is 'normal' in the blood sense, with red blood cells, etc. It was so good to hear.
We chatted with 2 other families with teen boys with leukemia. One boy was 15 and he had AML and the chemo messed with his legs and muscle control. He hobbles but with a walker and needs a wheelchair. He had a 23 yr old brother there helping him. The other guy had trouble with one of his legs and foot. He had a hard time walking too. We are so lucky in a lot of ways that none of these kinds of things happen. Of course, we have had our share but he always bounces back.
Once home, he wanted chicken teriyaki...again. He ate 2 servings and we started to watch a movie. He did not nap but went to bed early.
I am here waiting for the snow and hoping we do not have to get out in it. Say an extra prayer for me. Happy Snow Day my teacher family.
