Doernbecher Trip as a Family

We headed to Doernbecher as a family today.

The kids enjoying the suckers they got from the sweet ladies that do the vitals for the patients.

The kids love to play with the pedals for the sink. Today was no exception.

Harrison pushing the pedal. Gretchen trying to keep him from doing it.

Graham talking to Gavin.

Gavin talking back to Graham.

Trying to keep the kids occupied.

The visit went fine. Hunter got one chemo today. We will have to go up again on Wednesday for a transfusion, possibly. Hunter's ANC was 0. His white count was .3. Hemoglobin was 7.7, which is right on the edge of needing a transfusion. His platelets were 27. So Hunter's counts could have hit the bottom today or Wednesday, which is what Kathy Perko, a physician's assistant. said. She doesn't want Hunter feeling crummy for the holiday, who does. If his numbers come up by Wednesday there will be now transfusion. If not there will be a blood and platelet transfusions. We'll just she what Wednesday brings.

The upside, today was the last day of this phase. We are on to an easier one next week if Hunter's counts are up to where they need to be.
