Leo’s ANC was 1,700 yesterday so we went up to 75% of his oral chemotherapy. Everything went well; Leo brought his doll, Paul, which he “put to sleep” before he went under…! He started the steroids yesterday night and this afternoon he is recovering with a long 3+ hours nap. We will test him again in 2 weeks but it looks like his body started to adjust to the medication, which the docs were happy about.

We are trying to face the steroids week in a more relaxed way and we hope that with higher blood counts it’ll be at least a bit easier. Then we are planning to go to the mountains (Idyllwild) for a couple days (March 9th-10th) before we go to Palm Springs for a week early April: we look forward to it, it’ll feel good to go out of town! 🙂
