Getting Some Blood

After Friday's low Hematocrit, it was no surprise that Austin needed some blood.  He was tired all the time and was so pale.  We made a library trip so Austin could get a good book to pass the time as he waited for the blood to infuse.

 It was amazing to see how quickly Austin felt better after the blood.  He perked up and had energy and his adorable cheeks were pink again.  He was able to go back to school in time for Valentines Day.

Austin now has a week off from Chemo.  We finished the Ara-C and Thioguanine without too many problems.  He had a blood vessel in his eye rupture and his eye looks bad but it doesn't hurt.  It may be a sign of low platelets so we will monitor him for that.
