Day 19

William's numbers are on the rise!!! WOOHOO! A CT Scan from this weekend showed that William was a partial collapsed lung, so it is now more important than ever that he gets up often! Yesterday Randell managed to get him out of bed for about 15 minutes. The two of them stood at the window looking at Sacramento with binoculars :) It's amazing how much William's little body needed to get up because once he was standing all of his vitals improved, he peed almost 200 ml within 30 minutes and his mood improved . So, along with CT scan showing a partial collapsed lung, the Dr. did tell us that from the tumors that he did see on the scan, there were some visible shrinkage!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOOOO! The Dr. obviously saw the excitement in my face so he did remind me that he did not look at all the tumors so there is no telling if there are new ones or if the others have grown… MAN, THAT GUY SURE KNOWS HOW TOO RUIN A GOOD MOOD! Anyway, I am being positive and our” glass is half full”! The fact that some of the tumors have already reduced in size is FANTASTIC! I have faith that all the tumors are shrinking and that no new ones have been or will be formed. This morning I spoke to the Dr. about the constant blockage in the catheter. It looks like we will be postponing chemo for an additional week so that we can do two things: 1)Remove the stupid catheter and insert a bladder cap - pipe that goes into the bladder from the belly. 2)Allow his bladder some time to heal before the next round so that we do not cause any more damage. With William’s WBC and ANC on the rise it looks like we will be allowing friends and family to visit again as soon as tomorrow. . REMEMBER! If you have kids that would like to visit, please prepare them first. Also, we will only allow two people in the room at a time so it is important that you please talk to other mutual friends and family members as to not overwhelm William with too many visitors at one time. Incase I have not told you this lately…. I LOVE YOU ALL…. Thank you for the prayers! Keep on Keeping On. Livestrong.
