Yesterday they admitted us on the floor to get platelets because clinic was closed due to the holiday.  It was the first time I was actually relieved to be there.  It feels so much cleaner than clinic and everyone knows him and how I like things done.  It also helped having one of my favorite nurses too.  We found out Skyler has grown 9 centimeters since August!  They had to remeasure him because they didnt believe he had grown that much.  He does look bigger to me but I also havent seen him stand up since August either.  
They held off on chemo last week because his counts were low, but decided to start him back up yesterday.  I will be administering it to him at home for the next three days so we dont have to go back in everyday.  I like the fact that I can just do it at home, but dont like the fact that I'M the one that is putting the poison into his body.  Its a weird feeling.
We were scheduled to get platelets again tomorrow in clinic but I just got a call telling me that his post platelet count yesterday was 288.  Holy Hannah thats so high for him!  That means no clinic tomorrow...yay!!  I love it when he gets SUPER PLATELETS!  I just want to find this donor and give them a giant hug.
