So, Leo ended up having his transfusion today along with platelets as his numbers dropped down to 20,000 over night, along with his ANC (700!). Everything went very smoothly; it was just another 4 hours at the hospital. His favorite nurse (Lorraine) had a few activities ready for him: it was so sweet and it kept him busy. Leo played with play dough, drew quite a bit, “read” stories and watched a bit of a dinosaur story. He fell asleep on the way back home until 4pm and then he was… FULL of energy! What a boost that he got; his donor was probably a marathon runner !!! 😉 We took him outside tonight for a bike ride as he will probably be neutropenic starting tomorrow. He was so thrilled and saw a couple of fire engines, a few crows and small details on the floor and elsewhere that made his day! 🙂
No more hospital until next week… and this one will be very light: just a “push”, his last dose of chemo for this phase (the one that he will actually get once a month while in maintenance).
We simply feel lighter and lighter!
