Leo shaved his head today. Luckily, he's been wearing his hair pretty short anyway, so the transition wasn't that drastic, but a change nonetheless. As he starts his intense radiation therapy next week and hair loss will be one of the many side effects, he decided to cut to the chase now, rather than see his hair fall out in patches later. It makes sense. It's just that everything is really going into motion now after all the delays and it's a total reality check for me. So Leo was in the hospital most of the day today as he needed both a blood and platelet transfusion. While he was there (at Sherman in Elgin), I went with his dad to U of C so he could get his Neupogen injections. He has to take them twice a day for 4 days to help facilitate his stem cell collection, which will be Wednesday morning. They hope to collect all they need that day, but it may take 2 days, so we'll see. I guess that was pretty much the highlights of our day today. Hopefully we can have a nice laid back weekend before all the activity of next week.
Have a great weekend everyone!
