Tues, June 24th - Cole and I had a good night. The morning doctor consult showed that his ANC counts were good and at 1,050. Looks like Cole may be able to go home tomorrow late afternoon/early evening. That will be a great birthday present for his Mom. The morning brought a visit from our friend Lara and her Daughter Sarah. Sarah is also a Leukemia survivor that has been off treatment for 4 years now and she looks great. She is adorable and it was nice to see her and Cole together. I had to get a picture of these two cuties together :). Then the Child Life Center at the hospital had a pizza party for the kids. Sarah joined us for a bit and then had to go.  After a little fun at the pizza party, Cole was ready to go back to his room for some rest. This was early than usual. I am guessing that all these meds are taking there toll on him. So far he still looks good and generally feels good, but it won't be long before the weight gain from the steroids and the inevitable hair loss from the Doxorubicin. Shortly after his nap began his 3rd grade teacher Ms Gadberry again came to visit him. Unfortunately Cole was sleeping so they couldn't enjoy any time together. So Ms Gadberry and I went and got a coffee from the hospital coffee shop and enjoyed an hour or so of conversation. Cole continued to sleep so Ms Gadberry wrote him a sweet note that I read to him a little later in the day. She is so very sweet! Later in the afternoon Hillary from the Child Life Center came up and we enjoyed a game of monopoly. Shortly after, Denise and I switched out for the evening. Later in the evening we received a visit from Debbie, Ashleigh and Ryan Brown. Cole enjoyed a little piano action with Ryan and also played some video games. I went home and picked up the Madisen from the Esgro's and Michael from the Lashley's. It has been a god send not having to think about having to pick up this one here and this one there and not have to worry about their dinners or anything. Our friends have been so amazing in so many ways! THANK YOU!!!
