Round 3, Day 8 - Chemo Day

Kagan went for Chemo again today.   Luckily, one of the doctors that I really love was the doctor that was seeing Kagan today.   He checked Kagan over and his blood counts were 6660 today!     Since they only have to be over 500 for chemo he was qualified.

We did have another ultrasound to check the PICC line.  All looked much better today!  

"The Culprit" got remeasured again today.  It keeps changing sizes.  It is smaller but now it has grown again since the last measurement in it's length and shrunk on it's width.   Dr. Rossbauch said we will just keep an eye on it and later determine if surgery is needed.  Basically they will use the PET and CAT scan results that Kagan will have in August to make that call.


We got home and Kagan is doing well today. 

This month has just been crazy as far as doctors have been concerned with our family.  I mean the doctor appointments that Kagan has had has been almost daily between chemo, labs, test, dressing changes and etc.   Then on top of it this past 30 days we have had:

- Kade to the doctor to get his football physical.
- Kenadee to the urgent care for being sick and suspected strep throat.  (Luckily negative)
- Kaleb to dentist to get wisdom teeth pulled.
- Annual eye exams for the whole family.
- Kaleb to urgent care for being sick and we must make sure that it isn't anything Kagan can catch. (It wasn't)
- Kenadee to peditrician to get 7th grade shots.
- Me having some issues and had to go the doctor yesterday.  The result was a whole bunch of lab test ordered plus a cat scan being done on Thursday.   No idea what the follow up will be until I hear of results from Doctor in a few days. 
- All three kids going to dentist for their annual exam this week.

I bet our insurance company is loving this. 

So, really hoping that once we get thru August we eat an orchard of apples and keep the doctors away!
