Adrian didn't pass the test as expected. His blood test result showed that he's still low on Neutrophils (at 0.14 only) and Platelet (at 65). So his 4th cycle of chemo needs to be postponed until his Neutrophils reaches at least 0.50 and Platelet of 75! Apart from the GCSF shot he had today, the plan is we have to go back to K8S tomorrow and Monday for two more GSCF shots in hopes to trigger the growth of his Neutrophils. Let's hope he can reach the ideal level by next Tuesday the latest.

Talked to Dr. Tsui (baby's pedi back home in TOR) briefly last night and she gave us the contact at Sick Kids so we can discuss with about the possibility of bringing Adrian back for further treatment. We are still contemplating whether to continue treatment in HK or Canada and ultimately, all we want is the best treatment for our son. We'll have a better idea by the end of June when results of MIBG, Bone Scan & CT Scan become available. Another month to go...

Another day at QMH for routine blood work and check up. While we all thought Adrian was recovering well this time, his counts showed that he's still at the trough. He needed a unit of platelet transfusion as his platelet was only at 19; Neutrophils at 0.1 and so doc prescribed him a GCSF shot today. On the bright side, he did weight more at 9kg. I don't know if he's able to recover fast enough for the next chemo on June 1st but we'll have to be back to the hospital again on Thursday for another blood test and by then we'd know.

It's been a "normal" weekend for the three of us. I never thought a simple weekend would be such a blessing! I so wish it was all a dream.... Like the fairy tale, Adrian was a healthy little baby and never need to go back to the hospital again, the three of us live happily ever after...

We brought Adrian back to K8S for routine blood work and check up today. It was a short stay since baby's blood result came back OK. Neutrophils seemed to be rising at 0.16 and platelet at 50. Will be back again next Tues for regular blood work as the 4th chemo is due on June 1st.

It's Papa & Mama's 4th year wedding anniversary today! Adrian behaved well while grandma was babysitting him at home so we can sneak out and have some "private" time to celebrate. Wish baby get well soon and we can all celebrate next year!!!

Adrian broke the record of staying home longer than a week!! He was discharged last Wed and he's been doing OK so far (Thanks God!!!). Like Dr. Chiang said, the possibility of getting mucoscitis this time is less because of the different chemo drugs that were used (VP16 & Cisplatin VS Cyclophosphamide & Adriamycin). Baby has gained back a bit of his appetite but still can't sleep for long and wakes up a few times at night...
