Tuesday was time again to go up to Portland to meet with the doctor there. He was very pleased with her progress. Her blood counts are steadily moving up even though her platelets are still pretty low at about 29. I asked what he said about the infections and he just kind of shrugged his shoulders and said some people end up in the hospital every time and some don't ever get an infection. So he wasn't concerned about it. He said that Mom could go back in for the last chemo anytime in August but I think we are sticking with sometime around the 15th of August. We'll see what Dr. Lee says after getting this doctor's assessment back.
Her next appointment in Portland is September 28th. This is when they'll do the bone marrow biopsy and we'll know if she's done with treatment. That is assuming that all goes well between now and then. So, we can see the finish line just have a few more hurdles to jump first.
Mom is really feeling much better. She took the kids to town yesterday for lunch and to do a little shopping. After they came back out to our house and did a little swimming...she was still here when I got home from work. They all had a really good time.
