Dancing a little happy dance today! Hudson’s ANC is 6,000+ this morning! We’ll stop his shots and recheck labs on Wednesday, but his team feels he’ll likely be ready to start his next chemo/transplant round on Thursday evening.

Hi friends! Quick carline update - Hudson and I went to clinic in St. Louis this morning and his ANC is only 409 today! No one on his team seems super alarmed by this considering the amount of chemo he had, but it feels surprising and frustrating.

Whew! We’ve been busy over the last several days! Halloween festivities, Feast of All Saints, a soccer tournament, and a VERY belated birthday party for our girl Clare (postponed due to illness) have kept us moving! It’s been SO GOOD to be home as a family.

CHEMO ROUND 3/TRANSPLANT ROUND 1 ✅💪🏻 Hudson and I got home yesterday afternoon! He was so excited to be home and to play outside yesterday evening. I loved getting to surprise the girls and pick them up after school. The girls are very excited that we’ll all be together for Halloween.

Hudson and I are still hanging out at Hotel Children’s On Wednesday, he started with a runny nose and mild cough, so they ran a respiratory panel on him, and he was positive for parainfluenza 1. Unfortunately, this caused him to now be full isolation, so he can no longer leave his room at all.

Hudson had a good long weekend with his Daddy, and I SO enjoyed my weekend with the girls. Clare had a soccer tournament in Perryville this weekend, and we got some good cousin time in after her games on Saturday, and we had SVS Trunk or Treat on Sunday evening. Busy weekend! After work yesterday, I drove back up to STL to tag Matt out.
