This second part is called “consolidation”… better consolidate these great results!!! Léo received A LOT of chemotherapy this week and went through it amazingly well. No nausea, no fatigue, no loss of appetite, just a happy child, having fun dancing with his sister and playing joyfully. Yesterday we heard that his ANC was 1500!!! (what it actually should be in a healthy body!) Go, Léo! We hope it stays like this as the chemo he is receiving this month may make that drop; in any case, we know what to do when his counts are low so we are less worried about it. This weekend, if the weather permits, we will bring him to the beach; when he was hospitalized we had a little game of describing the sunset, (which Léo got to see almost every day with delight before he got sick): he was so good at it, we look forward to give him a chance to see it again. This week he walked around the block every single day with Grandpa and Grandma; he is still walking a little funny but that should get better soon. He is for now still sleeping with his orthopedic boot, which helps a lot!
We ended up going to a park, where there was absolutely nobody besides us… the perfect place for now! Here are some pictures; Léo was so happy, looking at every detail everywhere… so heartwarming to see him like this! 🙂
Alex and Lorene,
We are all so happy and thrilled over the good news of Leo’s progress! Jayne keeps us informed and she and Ray were so glad they could come to L.A. to see all of you…hug Charlotte and Leo for me!
love,
Susie
