Day 7

I am so glad today is Day 7. His ANC numbers have been high so I am guessing they will start to go down here pretty soon. Hopefully he will still eat and sleep and feel ok when his numbers bottom out. A couple nights ago Mac threw up again and really felt horrible. That day he had 4 chemo treatments! I think it was just so much that it made him pretty sick. He would wake up screaming in the night and didn’t go to sleep until 3:30am.
Thankfully he just gets 2 treatments a day now and he feels much better.

Jeremy taught him to “show his muscles” and it is sooo cute! He loves to dance and shake his head “no”. He has also been rubbing his hands together. I finally figured out that he is copying the nurses when they rub hand sanitizer on, every time they come in the room! How smart is he?! 🙂 He hasn’t had any fevers yet which is a really great thing.

I can’t believe Christmas is almost here. It sure doesn’t feel like it to me. It will be a whole different Christmas experience filled with gratitude for baby Mac’s life. I really try to seize each day with him. Even the nights I get no sleep. I’m so impressed with his ability to be happy through all of this and its a great lesson to me. Bad things happen but happiness is a choice. Love you baby Mac.

*today’s little miracle: he is resting now- hence the sleeping pic 🙂

-The wristbands will be shipping out soon!!! I get so excited thinking about people all over wearing them in support for Mac. How cool!
-If you’ve made a cash donation to Mac’s Wells Fargo account and don’t want it to be anonymous send me an email. We would love the opportunity to thank you for your kindness!
