Still here and in the hospital.   We are finishing  his antibiotic, which will be done Monday and waiting on his pesky platelets to come up high enough to start chemo.  Otherwise all of his counts are good.  When we finish his antibiotics on Monday, if his platelets are high enough, we will stay at the hospital and start chemo, but if they aren't high enough, then we will go home while we wait.
We have known that at some point his bone marrow would start getting lazy.  The doctor said it is common to wait a week or two, but if it takes more than that then we will worry.  In the meantime, we are all fine, just exhausted!  Clayton's days and nights have been mixed up for a while which has made for quiet days and sleepless nights filled with the irresistible laughter of a super cute little-man playing in the dark.  It is incredibly frustrating and precious all in one.
