Chantel's chemo delayed due to low white blood cell counts

Chantel's chemo has been postponed 3 times this week hoping that her WBC count will increase. It seems that her granulocytes have not recovered as quickly as she needs to continue chemo. If it does not recover enough by Monday, she will have to start on a drug regimen to increase her WBC up. She needs to get her WBC count up to ensure she does not get an infection. Filgrastim costs $1,000 per dose and will have to be taken a few days prior to each treatment and may need to be used until the end of her treatment.

Caius shaved his head for Mother's Day for Chantel

Caius approached me a few days prior to Mother's Day and said he wanted to shave his head to support Chantel during her chemo. Here is a photo of Chantel and Caius.




Here is a recent photo of Marcus. He is doing really well. His current stats are 24.5" in length and 11lbs in weight. He is pretty happy and I better get snipped quick or Chantel will have me trying to get her pregnant again when the time is right ;-)
