Clinic visit today. Numbers are down again, but it has only been 2 weeks, doc will work on finding the right level. I will try to not panic while his platelets are low, reminder to please donate 🙂. Thanks Kate for taking him.
We started stringing his beads of courage for the past cycles of treatment, it’s been interesting to revisit this bumpy and often times heart wrenching journey and its representation in beads. I’ll give the whole run down when I’m further along but red=blood/platelets, yellow=hospital overnight stay, white=chemo, etc. I really like the visual representation for kids, we didn’t start until Oct but as a teacher I’m very pleased with this program. I am doing a spiral instead of strands and I’ll have to explain my love of spirals later too as the boy need food!
Beads of Courage check them out if you would like to sponsor a bead. $15 you wear two beads during a special accomplishment and then write a note about what you did to a kid who is fighting. You keep one bead and a kid who is fighting a life threatening illness gets the other and your note. I’m loving this.
