Waiting, waiting, and more waiting

So, Caden is officially done with his chemo!!!!!!! Praise GOD! Now we wait...we wait for him to get sick....we wait for him to get better...we wait for his counts to recover enough to be discharged....and then we wait for them to recover even more so he can have the central line removed from his chest. We are so close to being done. This last stretch is so agonizing. The drs have informed us that he will get sick with something. They have said it is next to impossible to not get something because he will be without an immune system for so long. Wouldn't you know it...they were right. He spiked a fever today. So his blood has been sent for cultures and again...we will wait to see if anything grows. Not really much else to report except the weather here has been awesome and I have been trying to spend as much time outside with Cameron as I can. His favorite activity lately has been going to the beach to find crabs and other creatures at low tide! He is attending a really neat day camp with the Hutch School and is having a blast. Too bad Caden can't go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. We are stuck inside. He can't even leave the ward because his counts are too low. Oh, well, fortunately this is not permanent and hopefully he will be out soon enough to enjoy a little bit of summer!
