School Started

The boys started school yesterday. Jamey and Noah both came out of school saying they have the best teachers there. Coby was also happy about his day.

Jamey had his chemo yesterday. It went okay. I was a bit worried because he has some bruising on his arms and legs, but the doctor said we don't have to worry. His ANC, though, was very low. This means he's very prone to getting sick. Poor thing!

Today he is feeling pretty poorly. I picked him up from school, then he went to tutoring (to get ahead in math so he doesn't fall behind when he misses school), where he did fabulously. We have a wonderful math tutor for him - he already loves math, and she just makes it more so. Anyway, he came home from tutoring, read for about one hour, then started throwing up. He couldn't eat dinner, so he just lay on the couch for a little while. After that he took a bath and went to bed. We're afraid he's getting a fever, which will mean that he has to spend a few days in the hospital (which he HATES). The nurse told us this could happen with such a low ANC. We'll keep checking his temperature tonight and tomorrow. The only thing that made him feel better was a book my mom had sent him.

We feel so bad for him - I hope he's better tomorrow.
