In the fight to win!

Home care came yesterday to take koda's blood to see if his counts were high enough to go in today for chemo....they weren't.....it's a bittersweet thing because it's horrible to have to be put behind another week but it's heartbreaking to go watch this be done to him. Home care will come out again next tuesday and if his counts are better we will go in on wednesday.

 His counts this week were   Red blood cells: 36,200 (those are normal)  Platelets: 272,000 (those are normal also)  ANC{immunity}: 400 (this is what got him) They won't do the chemo unless his ANC is at 750 because 750 is still way way low and puts him at a high risk for catching anything and if he were to go in at 400 and up the dose of chemo too it would completely wipe him out and then most likely go for his blood cells and platelets also. So we will be praying for his ANC to go up so we can get this show on the road. Unfortunatley there is nothing we can do to help it go up, it's just chance.

After koda's chemo last time he had a really really hard time for about 5 days after, he all around just didn't feel well, so i am not looking forward to another upped dose but we have no choice so we will just try to make the best of it! I just wish there was something i could do to comfort him and take this away for him, it's so hard to see him so sick and so frustrated, but again.... we will do our best to make the best of it for koda!
