wishful thinking

Martha took Adam to Dr. Kuttesch's office this morning and as we suspected his white blood count is low. This means no school this week and probably he won't be able to go back for the rest of the school year. We were holding out hope and it seemed as if Adam was holding up pretty well last week. But the weekend seems to have depleted him a little. Where would we be without wishful thinking?

On a more positive note Adam's stomach is feeling better. He and Martha walked down to Belmont University earlier today, right down the street, to see what all the hoopla was about. There is a band stand set up and a gathering crowd. As it turns out the Country Music Awards or some such thing is being filmed there later today and Hannah Montana and Billy Ray Cyrus are to make a red carpet appearance. One lady told Martha they had come from Massachusetts just to get a glimpse. Adam is going to ask his friend JP to join him to go spot celebs. JP is a great kid and is being raised by TV resisters, god bless 'em, so he probably wont know who Hannah Montana is.

Martha pointed out yesterday that Adam went from having no prescriptions to having the most in the family by a long shot. Currently the count is 5 (not including the 3 chemo meds).

Adam got another license plate today from Celia and Ward in Mississippi. His collection is growing.
