The second round of Methotrexate went very smoothly; we got transferred to UCLA Santa Monica hospital, which was way more convenient for us (we walked there: it’s only 2 blocks away!) and also more relaxing as the whole team seemed more laid-back over there. We also had a wonderful view of the Santa Monica mountains, which made our stay quite pleasant! 🙂

Léo cleared his molecule in a hurry again, but we asked if we could stay just a bit longer, hoping that he wouldn’t develop his mucositis if he received a few more hours of fluids. So far it seems to have worked out… we are keeping our fingers crossed!

His ANC is at 1700; last week it went up to 2600! We are anticipating that his counts should be similar this time around and we look forward to enjoying California sunny weather in the upcoming days!

Léo is doing great; he has a lot of energy and was so happy to leave the hospital after 3 and a half days of being hooked on to his port: he ran around all over the hospital with Charlotte when they came to pick us up!

Next step: the same in a couple of weeks, with another lumbar puncture, which means that we will be hospitalized in Westwood. If he stays on schedule, we will be done with this phase at the end of July: we are moving forward! 🙂
