Back in Columbus

I think scarlet and gray are starting to grow on Ryan, ha ha. We came to his appointment on Tuesday hoping that maybe they would get good blood results back so that we would think the temperatures were coming from an infection, but that was not the case.

Ryan's white count wasn't too high - 7.7 ( in the normal range), but it was up from 2.3 the day before and there were blasts in the blood, not there on Monday.

Dr. Devine gave us a choice - go home or try one other chemotherapy regimen that will hopefully make Ryan feel better. We not sure at this point as to our next steps. Ryan's fever did come down earlier this evening, so we are thankful for that.
