Holding Steady

Trenton's latest count was 25,000. Just a slight dip, but still the wrong direction! Our doctor still wants to hold off on doing the next treatment. He keeps saying that when kids start to get better, it can go up and down like this.

We did get a little into what the treatment would be like, and it sounds a tad nastier than we've heard before. But he cut off the questions and said, "we're not there yet." He's still very sweet and I'm really glad we made the switch.

Trenton is so good when we are there, the doctors just laugh. They always feel his belly to feel for the spleen, and he just pulls up his shirt and giggles. When we get his blood taken, he usually sits on my lap to do it. But Friday, he just got up right there on his own. I asked him if he wanted to just sit by himself, and he said "yea!" Which he did! He just sticks his little finger out and watches the blood drip. He certainly does not get this trait from his father! (who can't even watch ER without getting nauseous). Sorry Tyler.

When we were leaving, a firetruck was pulling up to do some sort of training, and they were letting the kids play in it. Trenton just stood with amazement, but only wanted to watch from a safe distance. He hasn't gotten brave enough to actually go inside. He did get a cool sticker though!
