We are walking a thin line today as Braxton rests at home.
Tonight should be a great night for Braxton. His football coach (Keith Kerfeld) gave Braxton some special tickets for tonight's Twins game against the Washington Nationals. Braxton will have a chance to get on the field before the game and watch the Twins take batting practice. All we have to do is get him there.
We have been crossing our fingers and praying since Braxton finished his last round of chemo. So far Braxton has had to return to the hospital after each round of chemotherapy to protect his body from sickness. Each time before Braxton's cell counts have dropped and his temp has gone up.
Ironically, the first time Braxton had to go back to the hospital after chemo, it was after he attended a Twins game with his Dad.
This time, though, we're hoping it's different. Braxton has already made it longer at home than after any previous chemo treatment. His cell counts have dropped in the last couple of days. And his temp started to climb yesterday. But as of this morning he was still ok to stay home and he has a day time blood transfusion scheduled for tomorrow. So we're hoping that if he takes it easy today that he'll be ok to go to the game tonight.
Go, Braxton!
Go, Twins!
We'll let you know how it all turns out.
