Jon had his second chemo today of the CPK11 and Cisplatin. His hematocrit and platelets were a little low (which would account for the recent fatigue) but everything else was pretty good. The white counts had dropped 2 points but were still in the normal range. Its a little disconcerting to have things dropping so early in the game but I would imagine his bone marrow is pretty darn tired after all the chemo he's had (I've honestly lost count, I need to go back and add them up)

Jon had a childhood friend, Michael Thompson, visiting today who escorted him to chemo. They had a good time reminiscing about all their antics growing up and spent the afternoon "solving the world's problems" I'm taking one more week off of chemo to get the rest of my life in order while Jon feeling fairly good. I'll start taking him again next week, after Kelsey passes his drivers test :)

We are leaving for San Francisco on Thursday with our friends, the Mortells, for spring break. Kelsey and Nadine met in Kindergarten and we've been family friends ever since. It should be a nice break and we will also be taking a tour of Yosemite which Jon and I have always wanted to do.
