This looks like a big dog


Hey Gang,

We are doing good. Austin's counts are stable and platelets look good. Everyday I find new dry spots. He has some on his cheeks and chin. Then today I found some on the back of his neck and a circle patch on his hand. At least we know it is working though. He has a runny nose but so do I. Could be a little cold or he could be teething. Not sure. Mine might be a cold.

This evening we went to Retma to watch horse racing. Austin loved it. He would sit there and clap and point at the horses. His favorite thing to watch though is the EMS following the horses around the track. We then went down and got closer to the horses. Austin got to pet his first horse. I think he thought it was just a big dog. Haha.

We go back to Dr. Patel's office on Friday for our usual blood count check. We should be discussing about it being time to do scans again. So we will see what he says.

Take care and have a good weekend.

Elizabeth
