Round B postponed

"Chemo was to have started the past Monday, but had to be put off for at least a week. When we went into the hospital, they did one last check of his blood levels. Some of the main things that I have heard them specifically looking for are Platelets, Hemoglobin (Red Blood Cells), and White Blood cells. He was low on white blood cells specifically absolute neutrophil count (ANC). Neutrophil is the main infection fighter of the White Blood cells and so it is important to have it around. If ANC drops below 500 then it’s not cool and he is at risk, he was at 350, and this means no Chemo and he has to wear a mask when out in public….. yeah, like that’s going to happen at this point.

This drop is not a surprise, in fact, it was a surprise that it took as long as it did. This delay means his bone marrow is strong and kept up untill this week. Should it have happened a week earlier, he would have been given neupogen shots. I don’t know what that is so we will say it is a genetic altered form of alien DNA. I do know we will now have it in the fridge and will be giving him injections ourselves…….. wonder what alien DNA does to someone healthy? If you see me next time with a extra eye or appendage you know I know the answer. lol

Should his Platelets or Hemoglobin drop, I believe this is when the blood transfusions are used.  The lady from the Blood Center talked to us and told us that there is a way to have people donate blood under the “Ethan Adams Blood Replacement” plan and he gets $10. More on that as information is givn to us!

His hair is falling out very fast so this weekend there is going to be some sort of eating meat (protein for blood) and head shaving event at our place. So far there are 4 signed up to be skinned, but all are welcome!"
