Hope thanksgiving was awesome!

Gabriel has recovered from his fevers, but his counts now need to recover. Gabriel is neutropenic with an ANC (absolute Neutrophil count) of 130. White Blood cell count of 1.3. He looked great on Wednesday. His doctors still gave him his VIN (chemo) and Dexamethasone (steroid I give him at him).

Thursday, Gabriel started becoming more cranky and he just wanted me to hold him. Steve and I switched off holding him. His appetite has decreased over the past couple days (cereal, peanut butter sandwich, nuggets,and tea), occasional vomiting, and he is a little pale. He does not have fever.

Today he is in better spirits. He's been putting together his puzzles (his favorite thing to do) and playing with his playmobil toys with Justin.

The steriod should at least give Gabriel's ANC a false high. We will see on Wednesday what his counts are and go from there.
