August 11th - First week of Radiation done.

This past week has been busy as Sarah has had early morning appointments every morning M-F to get her radiation.  The radiology clinic at UWMC does a good time to keep on time.  We are also one of the first patients of the day, so we haven't had many delays.  Sarah was worried about the radiation on Monday but has been good the rest of the week.  She has done well with the treatment so far.

Sarah's numbers are low.  Her ANC is already almost to the bottom.  Her platelets and hematocrit are also falling.  She will probably need a transfusion of either platelets or red blood cells this next week.  Today, we finished her last dose of Cytrabine.  It will be nice to not have to do the 4 days in a row again.

Seattle has gotten hot the past few weeks.  We pulled the inflatable pool out and have used it a few days this past week.

The Amazon Summer picnic was today (Saturday).  I took Lilly and Gus with me and we went.  Lilly had fun with the bumper boats and the hayride.  It was good to get them out in the Sun.  Lilly wanted to stay much longer than we did, but we had to get back to pick up Mom and Sarah from clinic.

Unfortunately, Gus has a fever this evening.  We hope that Sarah hasn't picked up the sickness but chances are that we will end up in the hospital sometime in the next week.  Thanks for all the love and support that we receive.

Gus loves the bubbles at the picnic
