Haircut Day

The countdown begins, 8 days until discharge (unless we have a setback)!!! On Monday December 2nd Asher will get another lumbar puncture and some chemo in his spinal fluid and then we will go home. Dave and I can’t wait and I know he and Charlotte will be thrilled.

I am happy to report that Asher’s ANC count began to rise the very next day after it fell to 320. Yesterday was 520 and today is 780. Woot! It’s still below normal but we are thrilled that it didn’t bottom out.

In other news, Asher’s hair began to fall out last night. Not a lot, just some stray hairs here and there. I had already planned on trimming up his wild mop but we went with a super short buzz cut this morning. He didn’t much mind because this past summer I would put him out on the back deck and buzz his hair regularly. He even pretended to help me with the clippers once I was done. The nurse brought in a bag to save some of his locks to be placed under his pillow tonight. The tooth fairy’s cousin, Miss Hair Fairy, will be visiting. Let’s hope Asher doesn’t think the Hair Fairy will start visiting after every haircut, hehe.
