We went back to the clinic this morning. CJ was in a good mood so everything went well, with our appointments being 4 weeks apart CJ doesn’t mind going as much. We got all good news from the doctor. All of his counts are in a good range, and his ANC is 1700, which is right where they want it. This means the chemo and all the medicines are working just like they are suppose to. We do start steroids again today for the next five days. This will be a test since it will be the first time he is on steroids during school, since it was fall break last time. He did really well on steroids last time, with less mood swings and food cravings, so I am hoping it goes as well this month.
CJ is doing great with preschool, everyone is so glad he is back. CJ has even got to take a couple of field trips. His class went to Deere Farms, which is just next door to the school. They got to go to the corn maze and pick pumpkins. Next they got to go to the firehouse in Georgetown to see the fire trucks. This is nothing new to CJ, since Greg is on the fire department in New Middletown, but he had fun none the less. I am sure he told everyone how the fire trucks worked.
CJ also got to go trick or treating twice this year. First on the Wednesday before we went to Trick or Trunk at St. John’s where CJ got to play with his friends and get quite a bit of candy in a little amount of time. For this one he was the red power ranger. Then he dressed up as wolverine and went trick or treating with his dad on Halloween night. It is great to see him get to go out and do things like any other four year old does. Not long ago I was wondering if he was ever going to get to act like a normal kid again. Now everyone he is around just treats him like a normal kid. He is even starting to look like his old self, with holding on to his normal weight, and getting his hair back.
