Quick update to yesterday’s post. Numbers were all pretty good: ANC 1300 Red Blood: 10 Platelets 96 They didn’t do a chem panel so I don’t have an LDH. We did do an HVA/VMA and we should have that back within a few days. During Sam’s doctor check for the MRI he told the nurse practitioner the reason his knee is hurting is that he remembers being run over by a “big guy” when playing the blue team in soccer several weeks ago but that it’s getting bettter. This is the first Neil or I had heard that explanation. I tried not to jump for joy right there in the exam room. We’re hoping that’s all it is but are still nervous. The reason Sam had to have a doctor’s check is that we’ve decided to put him to sleep for this MRI. It’s the first time he’s been sedated for an exam in two years, he’s such a trooper but this is a two hour MRI and the last one we did was tough on him. The tech ladies put these really heavy things over his legs and after about an hour and a half he started to move around because his heels hurt and they got fairly nasty about it. You can imagine our reaction to that. Anyway, he’ll be asleep this time so it won’t be so rough on him.
