We had a great weekend. Friday we went to the hospital for Owen’s appointment. They wanted to draw some blood to check his counts. We also talked to his Doctor about the Erwinia and what it means that he isn’t getting any more doses of it. He made us feel more at ease about them stopping it. It was the last round of this medicine and he did get 1/3 of it. He said if this would have happened during Induction, they probably would continue to give it to him. Like he reminded us, all of these medicines are working together to do the same thing. Kill the cancer cells, and he is going to be getting much more chemo through out the next few years, that this shouldn’t matter.
He felt really good all weekend. Still has his appetite, which we thought would be dying down a little now that he is off the steroids. This morning he had another episode of the SVT. We had him do a headstand and it went back to normal. I really want to talk to his heart doctor because this really isn’t making any sense. They increased his dosage, so he really shouldn’t be having these episodes. Maybe this medicine doesn’t work for him? We go back in May, so I guess we’ll talk to him then.
Here is a shot of the boys in Owen’s new car! I took it earlier this week, but with all of the hair cutting I never got around to putting it up. He loves it and asks every morning if he can ride it. (they were on the way to a baseball game, hence the bat in the front seat)

I absolutely love this picture! They are such cute brothers!
So, so adorable. I love this picture. Owen taking his little brother to a baseball game. And check out the wheels.
