Today marks 4 weeks in the hospital this round! It's kind of crazy to think that of the last 11 weeks we have spent 9 of those weeks here on East 8.
Clint had to have a colonoscopy today. He said it wasn't too bad, he doesn't remember anything so that's good. The doctor said everything looked pretty normal but they should have the results of the biopsies that they took in the next few days. Hopefully those results will give us a reason for all the diarrhea he's been having.
He did eat 2 bowls of cereal yesterday so that was exciting! That ended up being pretty much all he ate, but hey it's a start. Today he didn't eat anything, mostly because they made him fast this morning for the tests and then he didn't feel real terrific the rest of the day. But hopefully tomorrow we can start getting some more food in him!
His neutrophil count was up to 800 today, which is great news! His platelet and hematocrit counts are also holding steady. So all in all (other than this diarrhea thing and not eating) he is doing really good. We'll probably still be here for another week or so just depending on what they find out, but hopefully we'll be able to come home soon!
Yesterday we had a BBQ at Clint's parents house. The boys had a ton of fun playing with cousins and playing in the water! Thanks Dennis & Kathy for the good food and fun times!
Here is Noah & Kolby playing with the rocket launcher
Nate cooling off in the little pool
Nik & Kyler playing the golf ball game
I also just want to say thanks to Kim & Kent for being so willing to watch the boys this week. They were soooo excited to get to stay with you guys! We have the best family ever!!!
And just to top it off Clint & I got to see more fireworks last night! Yeah! We had a pretty good view of the fireworks after the Bees game from the hallway windows during our walk. Loved it!!!

I am glad he was able to get a colonoscopy. Now if he could convince his older brothers to do one :) I would much rather have one than go through the treatment if they find anything.
Tell Clint to keep eating cereal--it's my favorite thing to eat!
Hang in there and hopefully we can come up sometime this week.
