Home Bound Again

On May 2nd Sebastian had his weekly blood test again during the break, and his counts had fallen quite low. The doctors were not concerned since it is due to a residual effect of his last chemo treatment. But it means he has to stay home most of the time and avoid crowds due to the risk of infection. After hearing this, I was worried that we had taken him out the day before, so I am patiently waiting and hoping that he doesn't get a fever over the next week. So far, so good - he is fine and he doesn't seem like he is getting sick at all. Maybe I am just worrying too much. I have to remember how much fun he had the last weekend having some "normal" days and being able to play with kids again, even if it was only for a few hours.
