Michael went to his radiation appointment this morning and they did more set up work so they could reduce the radiation fields that he is getting. Because all of the calculations were not complete they will wait until tomorrow to start back with his radiation. After that we went to the Oncology clinic to see if Michael's blood counts were high enough to take his "in-hospital" chemo treatment. His ANC count needs to be between 750 and 1000, well today it was 3792!!! We give God the glory for this and we were ready to head over to the hospital. Michael wanted to be on 3 South and they just happened to have had a room for him on that side. He was very happy that he was back on that side of the floor. Michael took his chemo really well without any sickness. In fact, he worked on a stained glass project part of the evening and then beat daddy at a game of air hockey.
