Yesterday was Mom's check up with the doctor at OHSU. She had blood drawn again and her numbers are improving but slowly. Her neutrophil # is 1.65 and should be at least 1.8 for her to eat and move about freely...her platelets are now at 51, they want at least 80 before the next round of chemo. Her WBC is 3.1 which is up substantially...Dr. Lee had called last week and let him know that we wanted to postpone chemo until after the 16th, which he said wasn't a problem, in fact she probably wouldn't have been ready for it by the 14th anyway. It's looking like it will probably be the 21st when she goes back in. I asked if he was mad about the infection and he just said well, most people end up back in the hospital 3 out of the 4 consolidation therapy rounds so we'll just hope that it's only 2 out of 4...
Otherwise she is doing really well...feeling good but tired still. She said she is tired of being tired. :) So, she's up for visitors now as long as you are healthy...just give her a call before stopping by.
