Not Much Going On
There's really not much going on here. Noah's counts are dropping rapidly now. His white blood cells are almost nonexistent and his hemoglobin is getting really low. Noah is doing fine and seems to have bursts of energy but is sleeping more now than he usually does. Sleep is a good healing mechanism and there's nothing wrong with his doing that. His platelets are still holding up pretty well and that surprises Dr. Graham. Tomorrow will tell more about what is going on and if he'll need a transfusion or not. The surprisingly good thing is that he still has an appetite. He's up to forty-two pounds again and so he is looking really good.
Today was just a regular day and that's probably how things will go for the next week to ten days. A visit to the clinic to see Dr. Graham for his blood count testing and for meds or whatever needs to be done that day. The house that we are staying in now is just temporary and the Nelsons will be moving on Thursday to the house that they plan on staying in for the duration of their stay in Tucson. Apparently there was a mix up with the mail being delivered here. The mailman rang the doorbell to see if there was someone living here by the name of Nelson because mail was being sent back. The post office had been told that no one was living here. A package did get delivered here today. So our apologies to anyone that had something returned to them. I will let you know what the new address is going to be as soon as I get it from Lara.
So that's about it. I go home tomorrow night and I doubt that I will get a journal done then. I will try to get information after I get home to keep everyone updated but obviously it's easier to know what's going on when I'm here. It's really a wait and see situation now until Noah's counts all come back so that they can determine what will happen next.
Don't forget to say a little prayer for Noah so that his next round of tests and scans will all be free of Neuroblastoma. Pray that he can proceed with his protocol and that it will all be successful.
Much love, Grandma

Hey Little Man,

One more thing :)
I sent some recent pictures of you from the San Diego trip to Chris at the Phoenix Suns. He emails me about once a month to check up on you & he said he sent your pictures all around the office and everyone loved them.
I am sure that when you are ready for it, they would love to have you come down to the Arena and enjoy a Suns game and say hi to everyone in the PR department there.
Go Suns!!

Noah,
We are still praying for you daily. We had dinner over at my parents house last night with the whole Kredit family and Grayson made sure to remind everyone that we couldn't eat until we prayed for Noah. Both Grayson and Hannah talk about you every day and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Kory, Adair, Hannah and Grayson

I'm thinking of you all. Noah you are awesome, awesome. Anna was really happy to see you when we dropped off dinner a few weeks ago.
Let us know when you get your new address in Tucson. I'm so happy that you're there. I believe that the energy there is conducive to healing, and hopefully it is bringing you some joy remembering your college days and being at the place where you fell in love:)
Blessings and hugs,
Kim
