Eric and I were at clinic today when I realized that I had forgotten to update my blog over the weekend! That either means there isn't too much going on with Eric or I was too busy this weekend, or maybe both!
It was a fairly uneventful week, Eric-wise. Monday was a pro-d at his school and his friend had a birthday party. It was the first time he ventured out, aside from clinic, in weeks but he wasn't going to miss it! His legs had been starting to feel better, but definitely not 100%. Even those it was sprinkling a little, they were swimming in a backyard pool and loved it! Eric got a bit cold and tired and had me come pick him up an hour early, but he made it 2.5 hours!
Tuesday was Chuck's 50th birthday. The boys enjoyed the cake and spoiling Daddy. They think he's REALLY old, which is funny, but only for a few more years!
Wednesday Eric and I went into clinic. He had his bloodwork and platelet transfusion. His Oncologist came to talk to me and said there are some interesting signs in his bloodwork that something good might be happening in his blood, but they're just soft signs and while he doesn't want to do another bone marrow biopsy yet, he can get some good information by drawing bloodwork for a split chimerism. Eric's Nurse Practitioner was saying this is good news and I said well, its not bad, but I will reserve judgement on whether or not it is good. Additionally, Eric's blast count is still a little elevated, which I don't like.
We mostly just chilled on Thursday and Friday. Eric didn't make it to school with his legs still achy but he did have a lesson with his online teacher. Joel got to go to Playland on Friday for his school's Grade 8 Field Trip and had a good time. He even went on a couple rides which surprised me because he isn't really into rides.
Saturday evening we gathered with friends to celebrate Chuck which was really wonderful to catch up with people we don't see as much as we would like to.
We're back at clinic next week on Monday (aka today) and Friday, as well as, Sunday so that Eric can safely participate in the Grade 5 "leaving" events since it is his last year of elementary school.
