Day 280 - Surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning

     This is more of a place holder blog entry and won't have a tremendous amount of medical content.  Evan received his next dose of chemo earlier this morning.  Everything went as expected and Evan is back home recovering.  Our oncology doctor shared the remainder of the plan and he only has one more session of chemo in this round and it's tentatively scheduled for next Thursday or Friday.  Evan's blood counts looked good during the blood draw on Monday.  ANC was in the 7.x range which is perfectly healthy.

Picture from today's chemo session.

     The plan is for Evan to have an outpatient surgery, however he sometimes reacts to the anesthesia with a fever so I'm mentally preparing myself for a scenario in which he's kept overnight for observation.  Once the port is in Evan will get his PICC line removed and covered.  We're going to check with the surgeons tomorrow to see if they have any concerns with Evan returning to school next week.


     I'll close today's blog with some photos taken over the last week.  Cristy took the boys to Touch-A-Truck in downtown Kennesaw on Saturday and for Easter Bunny photos yesterday.  Will provide another update tomorrow evening.

Happy Leprechauns!

Book 'em Dano.
