Gus Walking - Sarah's Consolidation day 10

Gus is starting to walk.  Well, take a few steps more like.  He stands up kind of steady and will walk 3-4 steps to get to you.  He loves to play this when he is in the right mode.  He has tons of excitement for doing new things and is lots of fun.  Though he is also breaking his molars, so he isn't always fun.....

Sarah's numbers are finally dropping and they are dropping fast.  Her hematocrit is approaching levels where she will need a blood transfusion.  She had labs today, and she will have some again tomorrow.  The won't transfuse until the numbers are below 20 and she is at 24.  He ANC is also dropping.  It is at 1100 (Seattle uses the full numbers rather than saying it in thousands).  That means she will probably be staying home from church.  She is getting more tired, and is starting to feel the chemo take affect.  From what the treatment plan looks like, we will be on a roller coaster like this for the next 6-8 months.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.  We are doing well as a family.  We have more stress and it is nice to have the help and support that we have had during this time.
