Tuesday's are Matt's checkup days. Will continue to have blood and lab works done each week we come. Here's to hoping to another set of good results. I'm sure we will learn more today about his next chemo treatments that start on December 27th. Matt seems to be eating more, so hopefully his weight will have gone up.
Ashley and Bekah come in this Friday and Saturday for the holidays (and their birthdays). Ashley has bought family tickets to see the Cowboys play this Sunday. I've got to double check today with the doctor that it is okay for Matt to go (keeping my fingers crossed the doctor says yes, since Matt is actually wanting to go).
It's not too late to give blood in Matt's name. He will still be needing blood and platelet transfusions as he continues with consolidation chemo. You'll have to check my earlier post about how to do so, but I've figured out the trick if you want to donate both blood and platelets. You should donate platelets first and then you just have to wait a few days to donate blood. If you donate blood first you have to wait quarterly to give either blood or platelets again. I'm eligible to donate again the first part of January and since I'm now a member of the Central Texas Blood Center, I can schedule my donations online. Can't get much easier than that.
Pray for great results today (and yes to the Cowboy game). Thank you to everyone who is sending in their blood donation coupons. Each coupon credits' Matt's blood cost $10....and it seems the blood center here in Round Rock gives you stacks of coupons when you come...even if you were not eligible to give.
Love to you all!
WOW - so Matt is able to go to Cowboy game with the family. How exciting. Maybe they will put his little bald head on the big screen during the game.
