I haven't posted anything on the blog for a few days, because Austin has been playing his online games non-stop (I was so happy at first because he was actually doing something instead of sleeping all day)!! However, I had to limit his time on the computer today, and he was not happy about that. Instead of playing a game of Monopoly with his Grandpa and I, he decided to go to sleep instead. I guess it goes to show you that Austin is doing well enough to give his mom a bit of attitude. Despite the odd tummy ache, Austin is very content and comfortable. He still has not regained his appetite, so I will work on getting some liquids down beginning tomorrow. His blood counts "bottomed out" yesterday, and he is severely neutropenic at this point. Hopefully he won't catch any little bugs this time around. Austin also required a platelet transfusion yesterday, which went very well without any bad reactions. It seems that post-transplant Austin is doing better than last round. However, it could be that we know what to expect at each phase of the 28 day cycle. The unknown can be very scary, so I think there is some comfort in knowing Austin is repeating the exact same regimen he has already undergone.

Hi Austin,
Glad to hear things are going better this time around. Dave and I just bought a camping trailer so when you get back to Longlac we'll have to take you camping on McKay and catch some fish. You can show Scott and Mom how it's done. Thinking of you every day...hopefully I'll be able to catch your Mom one of these times and stop playing telephone tag with her.
Take care, Luv ya both, Hugs and kisses, Dave and Jo
P.S. Try not to give your Mom too much attitude, Jo
