Matt received a shot yesterday to see if his white count can get boosted faster to help prevent the fevers and ER trip he usually has about the end of week two after chemo. They gave us his monthly three times a week schedule for lab work and dr. visits for this month. We will know later this month if Matt will do the fourth and final chemo consolidation. All along the doctor said Matt would do between three and four consolidation treatments so we will see. I know Matt is tired of all this routine and is ready to move on. I guess they will take bone marrow the end of the month and test to confirm remission if they decide not to do any more treatments. So this month will be a month filled with waiting.
Matt hasn't complained of headaches like he normally does after treatment. His eyes are sensitive to light, so he has been wearing an eyemask to sleep in during the day and sunglasses when he is outside during the day. I keep telling him he is turning in to a vampire. (joke)
Hopefully the rest of this week goes smoothly at home. Pray the shot works and his counts don't rock bottom out so we can prevent fevers.
Thanks for all your continued prayers. We love you!
