His blood work looked pretty good, though his ANC is still high at 2040. This could mean a couple of things: his dose is still not high enough, or he is fighting off something like a cold. I am leaning more toward him fighting off a cold because his sister had a brief bout of coughing and runny nose. Otherwise, things look pretty good. They continue to monitor all of his blood work including liver function because of the kind of chemo he takes. He did very well during the appointment, and hammed it up for everyone as usual. Then even presented him with a cake and sang happy birthday to him. He was so surprised and the look of joy on his face was priceless. He was also thrilled that they gave him a Batman Lego set.
The most exciting thing about chemo, was that they gave us an end date! Wait for it...August 9, 2016 he will be done with treatment. The end is in sight! And it is actually a little sooner than I was thinking. I wasn't sure if it would be in August or September of next year, so I was pleasantly surprised. Now, the party planning begins.
I want to extend a big thank you to the anonymous donors who have donated to my Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light the Night fundraising. I have already exceeded my initial goal thanks to you. I actually got goosebumps and almost started crying when I got the email right before work, so thanks for that too. Our daughter Alexis is also raising money, so if anyone is planning to donate, please go to her page linked here. If she raises $100, then she gets to have a lantern in the walk as well. Here is a quick video she made about why she wants to raise money for LLS and Logan's team:
