Mom has been doing well the last couple of days. She is very, very tired but that is expected after what she went through last week. I took her to the doctor's today. Her blood counts are increasing. WBC was 1.5, neutrophils at .9 and platelets at 15. Dr. Lee decided not to give her any blood products and believes she is past the worst of it for this round. She's still on antibiotics and potassium but that's it for now. She goes back to OHSU next Tuesday to see Dr. Fleming again. Then back to the lab on Monday the 14th for blood work again...depending on her counts that day either she'll go back on the 18th and then in for chemo again on the 21st OR she'll go back for blood tests on the 23rd and in for chemo on the 28th.
She was very excited to hear that she'll be able to go to Jessika's promotion ceremony and have some time to be around the kids again. She's feeling very down in the dumps right now, not depressed but sad about how much she's missed this spring. I've been taking lots of video but its just not the same. So hopefully we'll get a little break and get to enjoy spending some time together, not just talking about chemo and cancer and blood and insurance...
