Still hangin' at TCH - August 12, 2014

Another day at TCH. Asa is better and in the waiting game, waiting on his counts to come back up. This morning he had a grand total of zero neutrophils in his body, not a safe place to be out in
general public.  He feels much better.  His blood cultures are negative so far.  He got more platelets today.  He will get blood tomorrow.  His poor little system has just had a hard time recovering from his last inpatient chemo.

Clearly, please pray that Asa's immune system kick back in.  We are all rather bored sitting here just waiting with a wiggly toddler.  I think we hiked miles around the oncology floor today to keep Asa happy.  Pray that as Asa's counts return that his immune system doesn't go into reaction mode and make him sick.  He continues on antibiotics until cultures are clear.  Pray for sanity for us here and those at home.  Pray that God would use us here if we have to sit here.  Pray that we be adequately prepared for school next few weeks.  Kids at home, kids at college.

Thanks today that Asa is much improved.  He's all over and into everything.  Whee for us!  Grateful for a good helper, people to talk to in this nuthouse.  Happy for windows and a beautiful sunset again and a baby who loves every minute of it. And chocolate as our reward for walking the halls for hours.  Thanks to crew at home holding down the fort. And good nurses.  We've had several.
