Labs were great, and we are set for Christmas.

I can't believe it is already Christmas Eve, 2009. It was a year ago that Emily started growing her hair back and we had settled into maintenance chemo. This past year has somewhat cruised by with its share of challenges along the way.

Emily's labs yesterday were great, her ANC was around 2900 which is pretty high but still in the acceptable band. I'm a little surprised because Haley and I have a cold, and I would think Emily will be getting it soon. Though next week is Prednisone and IV treatment, so her ANC will be high again no matter what due to the drugs. Emily will remain on %100 chemo for the week. Next week her IV treatment will be a day earlier than normal because of the holidays, the scheduling at the clinic is a bit off.

We are pretty much set for Christmas. This year not much decorating happened, we were so busy and time flew. We do have a nice tree and have the stockings up, and the girls don't seem to mind that some of the other decorations never made it out of the box this year. Both Emily and Haley are getting some nice presents, and tomorrow we are also going to tell them about the Disney Cruise we are going to go on in the Bahamas at the end of treatment. Including next week's IV treatment, there are 4 left, which means just 17 weeks to go, or around 75 days!
