Nolan is slowly improving.  We were really hoping he would be able to resume all of his chemo today.  His hemoglobin was 12.2 and his platelets were 225,000.  Which are AWESOME, but his ANC was 960.  It really needs to be above 1,000.  They went back and forth about about whether to start but Nolan hasn't ate or drank in 10 days and he is still not tolerating any feeds.  Basically he's been living off of pedialyte that runs through his g-tube.  Of course this has caused his weight to drop and the strong antibiotics he's been on has really caused a lot of stomach problems.  Dr. McDonald said if we were to start chemo right now, is like asking for another hospital admission...  Nolan has a follow up Wednesday with Dr. Aguilera.  We are hoping his blood counts and everything else will be better by then, if not we will have to come up with another plan.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers,
