Hi everyone, sorry it has been a while since my last post.  We had a clinic visit yesterday (November 20) and one ten days prior (November 9).  Both visits were about the same - Oliver received VCR and Methotrexate through his port.  His counts were good at the November 9 visit so his dosage of Methotrexate was increased.  The visit yesterday, his ANC was down to 690, but was high enough for chemo, so he received the same dosages as November 9 with no increases.  We will just have to take the usual neutropenic (immune comprisation) precautions.  We are adapting - and have met other families in similar situations at the clinic, many who have had several delays in their treatment.  We feel fortunate that Oliver has not had any significant delays in his treatment.  He has endured a couple hospitalizations and none of this has been easy, but we are thankful Oliver has not experienced any delays in his treatment so far.  We are also thankful God has given us the strength to do what we need to do to get through this.  And considering the time of year, I thought it would be helpful to point out things we are thankful for - first and foremost, we have a new appreciation for how short life is and what great joy the simple things can bring you.  We should find joy in each and every day were are given.  We are thankful to see how good people are - how they will reach out to you in a time of need and help in any way they possibly can.  We are thankful for the advancements in the medical profession and for those that decide to go into the medical profession - they truly want to help.  I could go on and on - there are so many great things to be thankful for.  We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and while they are enjoyable, we hope that you will remember there is more to it than turkey and football.
