Back to waiting...

Mom's numbers were a little bit better today. Her platelets have risen to 12 from 6 on Monday. Her WBC and neutrophils are still extremely low, with only the WBC moving to 0.3 from 0.2 on Monday. But things are starting to go in the direction we want them to now. She did not have to have any blood products today and doesn't have to go back in until Monday. In the meantime she is stuck at home and is getting pretty bored...not feeling too bad but can't go out in public. A neighbor brought over 21 goats to eat through the field so she is keeping entertained by them...there is a 2 wk old that is just sooo cute! :) But they'll probably be gone again next weekend.

So for now, we are watching for rashes, fevers and mouth sores and keeping antibiotics and potassium supplements in her and waiting for her numbers to come back enough so she can do a little visiting.
