Saturday started out with a bang! Cutler’s WBC count was 9900 (guess that dose of neupogen did the trick!). Mason had fun playing soccer and then he and I went to the Stars game. Boy did we get our money’s worth – the Stars won in double overtime and we stayed for the whole game. It was a lot of fun to hang with Mason and see first-hand how much he enjoyed the game. I think he was disappointed there were no fights; such a boy :). My night with Cutler was relatively uneventful.
My Sunday morning, however, was very exciting…I woke to find Cutler in bed playing WITHOUT any IVs hooked up! Praise God! They now have him receiving TPN at night so he has a huge chunk of the day untethered so we hope to get him down on the mat and rolling over and perhaps even crawling?! We’ll see, no pressure. He continues to eat baby food by either spoon or pacifier, and so far will only take formula via syringe. We’ve brought some of the Dr. Brown bottles to see if that will entice him. His count today is 4400 – so it dropped but that was expected since he hasn’t had neupogen. There’s no plan to give him neupogen, blood or platelets today, and he’s taking all meds orally. He keeps this up and we’ll be home by the end of the month.
Below are a few pictures from Sunday morning…the first is his belly laugh and the second shows him in his exersaucer without any IV tubes. I’m also attaching a video from Sunday morning so you can see how happy and playful he is today.
