Sam was admitted to the hospital this morning with a fever of 103 and feeling generally miserable. We did a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia – haven’t gotten it back yet. He needed blood and platelets today and his ANC is 230 -we’re hoping on the way up, not down. Argh. I wish he weren’t feeeling so miserable. I feel so bad that he’s in there. He immediately wanted to know how many nights he’d have to stay in. We’ll have an ice-cream cake for Andy in the hospital tonight. I know the nurses will help us sing Happy Birthday to him and Maureen is going to come up. His birthday party on Saturday was a roaring success and he’s at preschool today with some dinaosaur masks to give to his friends.
Â
When it rains it pours. I am having an I hate cancer day today and a tough week in general (aside from Andy’s birthday). I just hate having Sam so beat up by chemo. I was scheduled to fly to Austin tomorrow to say goodbye to my Aunt who we are losing to inflammatory breast cancer. I have cancelled my flight but am so very sad about my Aunt Molly.My grandmother Owie is also in the hospital in very serious condition and I’m thinking of her contstantly as well. She and my family in New Orleans are having a tough time of it. But, at 103, she is still telling people to get her coat and her shoes so she can go home from the hospital.

More soon as I get more news on Sammy.
