Chemo Set-back.

I wish I was typing today about Ashton's 5th round of chemo being completed, but unfortunately that isn't the case. Last Monday Ashton had a hearing test and blood draw. The good news is his hearing has stableized...there has been no further loss. This means they will go ahead with another dose of the Cisplatin. This is good because they want to get as many rounds as they can, but bad because it does make him feel icky. The bad news was that, on Monday, his platelet count was too low to go ahead with Chemo last Tues. So, now we do the same blood draw tomorrow, Monday, and hopefully those platelets will go up enough for him to start round 5 this Tuesday. It seems like it is taking forever to start this fifth round and I'm so anxious to be able to say that he only has one treatment left.

Ashton has been making so much progress with his walking. He has been walking all over the house without holding onto anything. His balance still has a ways to go but each day he continues to grow stronger so I'm confident he will get there soon.

I will update later this week and hopefully I will be able to say "ONE MORE TO GO!"
