Sebastian & Stella: Check-in

We went through the entire second block of MTX with very few problems. Sebastian didn't get any mouth sores this time, and he didn't develop a fever. So we were able to stay home the whole week! The only bad thing that happened was that he fell from his stool next to the sink and cut his lip open - that hurt for a few days. But it didn't bleed too much and it healed quite well, so that shows that his white cells and platelets were ok.

Tonight he checks in for the third MTX treatment, and we plan on being out by Friday. Michi's mom is here this week, so that will be some extra help.

We hope we will get the MRD test results this week to find out if we are classified in the standard or middle risk protocol (meaning if his intense treatment will last until Sept or December this year).

Before photo: Michi decides to shave his hair. Is that Sebastian in the background with the clippers?

After photo: It's shorter, but not all the way gone. Sebastian didn't shave it all - he got bored after about 2 minutes.

Sebastian taking pictures with his CAT photo camera he got from Uncle Bob, along with a lot of cool hats for his cap collection!

Sebastian went to the Prater with Papa and Stella really early last Friday morning before it got crowded. He got to ride on the carousel. He chose to ride in the truck, of course. Where's Mommy? At home sleeping - it was her birthday!
