Mid-Week update

Sarah had an appointment on Tuesday to check her numbers.  It turns out her platelets were low (a '6'), so they scheduled platelets in addition to what was being done on Wednesday.  Sarah's Wednesdays appointment started at 12:30pm and went until 7:30pm.  We went through a bunch of information about the rest of her treatment.  We also did the math on the rest of the more intensive treatments.  We have another 8-10 months before she hits "maintenance."  During the next phase of treatment (interim maintenance), Sarah is in the hospital for 2-3days  every two weeks.  They make sure that her numbers get above the threshold before admitting her for the chemo dose, so it might be longer than 2 weeks between doses.

Gus proud of himself
Gus is walking halfway across the room.  I am attaching a few photos for you, showing Gus walking by himself.  Soon, he is going to be a terror walking everywhere around the house.

Taking more steps
On top of Sarah's issues, Lilly was sick for Monday and Tuesday.  That meant that we cancelled our Halloween and Lilly stayed home from school.  She is harder to take care of when she is not feeling well so it puts an added stress on the Family.

Cute Gus
We are grateful for all the prayers and support.  Thank you all for caring about Sarah and our Family.
