Brooks was 17 lbs, 7 oz and 27 in. long at his 4 month check up! He is off
the charts in height and weight. The dr. said he
looks great and to start him on some vegetables. Brooks ate the entire jar in one sitting! He also hasn't lost any of his hair which makes him look so much older. Whenever he is
at the store with me people always stop and comment on his hair. Gentry, Jerry and I made it through the first round of oral chemo but we were exhausted last week. It is so exhausting watching the clock to make sure we don't miss a dose and getting up in the middle of the night and early in the morning. Trying to wake Gentry up at midnight to take medicine was very difficult because he is a heavy sleeper. We made it through but are now battling a rash on his leg that could be a form of shingles or chicken pox. Neither are good since he has no immune system. Our pediatrician and Dr. Rosen decided to start him on anti-viral medicine today and tomorrow they are going to try and culture it. His leg is really gross looking and he complains that it hurts. Of course it couldn't be something simple like poison ivy. Also, his white count and platelet count are really low right now so please keep us in your thoughts as we deal with this.
