This was a very busy week for Curtis. Monday, we were at CHEO for an MRI and bone marrow aspirate, for which he was sedated. Curtis was feeling very under the weather Monday night, unable to even hold down a glass of water. Thankfully he was much improved by Tuesday morning, and again we were spending our day at CHEO for testing. This time we were scheduled for an ECHO and bone scan, both of which were painless procedures.

At our clinic visit on Thursday, we were given the results of his MRI. Although the radiologist saw no immediate change in the lesions on Curtis' spine and neck, he did note that the tumor itself appears to be shrinking. Once we receive the results from the other tests we will send another update.

Blood tests results from Thursday's visit were very good this time around. His hemoglobin was 104, platelettes 229, and his neutrapolys 0.46 (he is now netrapenic). Healthy visitors are more than welcome during the time he is neutrapenic, Trev and I only ask that it be a "touch free" visit as far as Curtis goes. We want to prevent the spread of germs as much as possible, so Curtis stays free of infection and out of the hospital!!
