Emily had her blood test today and her levels are coming back, however they are keeping her on a reduced dose until they are up even more. Her WBC = 2.2, Hgb 11.9, Platelets 407K, ANC-1100. You can see her ANC has actually dropped since the ER visit on Saturday, so she is still fighting some sort of virus. She will remain on a %50 dosage. I expect her to be back to normal next week and for them to increase dosage, but you never know what is going to happen. Next week is her IV chemo and physical exam, along with her monthly flash of Prednisone. Prednisone causes your ANC to shoot through the roof, so it's very likely she will be back on full dosage.
On a more fun note, Emily and I are going on a ski trip together this weekend. Just the two of us. We are both really excited about it. We are going to leave at lunch time on Friday and ski Saturday and Sunday. I plan to put her in a lesson for some of it, and for us to ski together the rest of the time. It should be a fantastic trip. On the way home we are going to stop in Auburn to have dinner with Tracy's parents, Grannie and Grandpa Steve.
Overall things are looking better than last week.
