One month check up with the Doctor and a blood draw for Mr. Blue Eyes!


It felt like six months not one since we last came in.  It was good to be there today, good to see all of the familiar faces.  Wonderful for the mom to have the cute baldy checked.

We get to see Debbie almost every time we come in.  She is so sweet and helps me know when the doctor is pulling my leg because sadly I am oooper gullible.  

Happy Halloween
 
You can see by the picture above that Mr.Blue Eyes did not love the blood draw.  He said " I really wish I had my picc line back in!"  He survived and then we headed to the Doctors office.
It was a great visit, the seat are seemingly more cozy when your on the recovery end.
We did some paper work, laughed at his doctors funny jokes and then found our his blood count.  5.4 white Blood cell and 3.4 ANC.  I was so happy with these improved numbers, OK that is an understatement.  I was ecstatic!  This is a HUGE improvement from one month ago.
Today we took some  homemade cards to our Doctor and to the nurse staff that has seen us through all of this treatment phase of the disease.  This is the photo that we used for the doctors card. Mr. Blue Eyes wrote in all of the cards and was really great about passing them out. Hopefully he will learn the art of being thankful to others,  a mother can dream......

  1. I know that cancer can have a detrimental effect on the patient's teeth, but wow! Corban really got walloped! ;-D
    SO SO happy that his numbers are looking good. I was thinking about him today while getting another blood test. It is no fun to be poked and prodded. Love you all.
