January 30th - Day -7

Well we had a great night last night, Ryan is still a night owl( must take that after his father) adn an early riser( after his mother), but I did manage to get about 7 hours with a few interuptions.

Ryans is playing with a volunteer now and is having a ball...
Still no affects that are apparent from the Chemo. He is still his happy and funny self...

His dilantin medicine had to be inceased last night as the levels were low and they wanted to make sure he was not at risk for seizure...no affects there either...

He is getting really good at his DS now as he has lots of time to practice...
Leanne our child life representative has delivered alot of Pokemon movies for him to watch. He is thrilled.

Dave and I had a nice dinner in the room last night ...Shayne made some butter chicken and Paul made some pasta so we shared and it was so yummy.......thanks guys....

Bathtime is becoming a longer event in our lives...he has to wash all his toys....and we can not drain the water until it is done....

I am going home tonight to see Ally as I am missing her so much, I do however get to see her on Skype every night to send kisses her way.
I will be back on Sunday , so I guess it is a boy weekend for Ryan and Dave ( I guess that makes sense as it is Superbowl weekend) a guy thing.

Counts today :

WBC - 5.2
RBC - 91
Plt - 40

So another steady drop. He will get a platlets transfusion when he get down to about 20 on the PLT and a blood transfusion when he gets to around 70 on teh RBC. and at some point the white will be at 0, that is when he can not fight an infection and will be in isolation.

Ryan will be getting a visitor in a few minutes, his friend Trevor his here for treatment and will be coming to see him in the longue, so by for now
