It was nice while it lasted...

Well we had a lovely two days home together. This morning James got sick to his stomach and spiked a fever. I wasn't really all that shocked because yesterday he had been very warm all day. So we hurried to the clinic and of course we get there and he doesn't have a fever anymore. This is not the first time in his life he has done that. When he was a baby he got a fever so I hurried him to the doctor and he was fine by the time we got there. Anyway they went ahead and checked his blood counts and some were low. His ANC is at 20 now but his platelets dropped down. They also did a CT on him since he won't talk or anything. They just want to make sure his shunt is ok. So the plan is to keep him at the hospital and monitor him and try to get his blood counts up. They can't start the next round of chemotherapy until its up. Once everything is up we can go back home for a couple days. Some good news the CT looked really good. Dr. Li said his ventricles looked very nice and his tumor has shrunk a little!! I was so scared they were going to say the tumor grew back some or got bigger. Hopefully our poor boy can start to feel better. You can just look at him and see how miserable he is.
