Doctor visit this morning at 7:30am. Elizabeth was all in favor of not getting dressed, and I was too tired to care. I'm a bit congested and coughing so I get to wear the attractive face masks. :) Now to keep Henry from getting sick again. The Doctors were very impressed with Elizabeth's ability to say stethascope, and that she knew we used it to listen to Henry's heart.

The Doctors are keeping Henry on the same Chemo for another eight weeks. His bone marrow test showed the same amount of LCH, which isn't great, but it isn't worse. So his body is holding it's own with out much chemo. They are moving back to full doses of chemo every two weeks. And since we found that he's lactose intolerant, he's on better formula to help him gain weight quickly without problems hopefully.

The Doctor just called and said he does have a virus that supresses his counts, so they may have to treat that if it's still growing, which means being admitted to the Hosptial for a while... but also something that can cause low counts. All things that help us treat him more effectively. So that's where we are today. Elizabeth is hiding under the table with the camera, better go rescue it before we get some crazy pictures or a broken camera. :)
