Remi's next treatment

Remington now has his port-a-cath and is getting his medicine through that. He no longer has the central line in his right bicep. The home health nurse came by this morning and took a blood sample for his labs. He is now at his lowest point. His white blood cell count is now zero. He will be going into the hospital in the morning for a blood transfusion to help get his counts back up quicker. He was pretty nervous about getting his port-a-cath accessed this morning but, they put some numbing cream on the access site and he didn't feel a thing when the needle went in. He was still pretty upset when he saw the access needle though. He has not had any mouth sores or major nausea yet. We are hoping it will stay that way! Remington will now have about 2 weeks to recover before he is scheduled to start the next round of chemo. Remington says to tell all of you thank you for your thoughts and prayers over the past few months. He also says thanks to all his friends at Reid school for the cool artwork and notes. He is hoping to be able to come to the talent show on Thursday and see everyone perform.
