Well, as you can see, our lives are definitely up and down from day to day - the past few days were up; right now, we're down.
I'm writing this from Hopkins, where Matthew was admitted yesterday for fever. This was not an unexpected development, as we knew his white count was very low from chemo the previous week and he was at high risk for infection. Still, it's always a drag to end up here - particularly when he had really hoped to be back at school this week. At least this time around, we've got a private room on the teen floor. There's a teen lounge with a pool table and various electronic diversions, so when Matthew gets a bit more energy, he'll have something to do. I also brought his guitar, but his throat is too sore to sing. Overall, though, he's feeling ok.
Jon's home taking care of Danny. We are grateful to our wonderful friends and neighbors for stepping in at a moment's notice to make sure Danny is cared for (not to mention Maggie & Jovite). We will be in the hospital until Matthew's temperature and white count return to normal. I'll keep you posted...
