day...(I've lost count) Up and Down day



Hello bloggers,

It's Thursday and the weather is better than on monday! Our snow is almost all gone and the sun is out. Braxton has had an up and down day despite the nice weather.

Down- He had a nurse come and take blood to check his platlettes )sp?). Braxton doesn't bleed well so the amount of blood squeezed out of his finger was minimal. So, after another try the nurse left feeling that she had gotten a good sample.

Up- Braxton went to the Twin's game with his dad and a friend and the friend's dad. He said that he had fun despite the Twins losing 5-4.

Down- he had to wear a mask to protect himself from germs.

Up- Braxton ate ice cream at the Dome.

Down- The nurse had to come back to take more blood because the first sample wasn't enough.

We haven't been up again yet. Braxton is feeling the effects of chemotherapy today. He's tired, has a low grade fever and is getting mouthsores. We got another prescription filled called "magic mouthwash" that is supposed to work very well on mouthsores. So, it's early to bed and lots of rest for a couple of days.

Thankyou, again, to everyone responding to Braxton's blog. He enjoys reading comments from you all! :)
