Haircut

Ok...the deed is done. The hair was coming out fast and freaking him out. Not to mention it was bothering him waking up in piles of hair every morning. His head has been very tender, so i did the best i could. He wouldn't let me actually touch his scalp with the clippers so the job i did....well i got the job done. Sort of! It's all good though cause the rest of all the little hairs left will fall out. It would need to be supersoft with no harsh seems on the inside. Other than that is has been pretty uneventful. He has a runny nose and if it gets any worse then he will be put on isolation for 5 days. :( He is eating well and drinking well. Until last friday night anyway when my mom decided to let him eat the frosting off of two cupcakes and then he yacked a little while later. Thanks Nana. Actually it was just a side effect from the last LP (chemo in the cerebral spinal fluid) he had for this 1st course. So now we sit and wait. His counts will go up and down for the next few weeks and hopefully by the end of the third week they will be up enough to start the next course. Keep the prayers and warm thoughts coming. My mom left on saturday and will not be back for three weeks. This will be the hardest three weeks for me not only because I will be alone, but he is so immune supressed that it will be a tough battle to keep him from getting sick. Thanks
