Lots of blood!

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!
