Today Emily went in for labs. Her ANC is still below 500 which means she can't fight disease and infection well. She needs to get above 500 to be admitted and to restart phase 3. They will test her again on Tuesday and then like she will be admitted on Wednesday. We will see.
We got a call late today from the clinic, Emily may have been exposed to Chicken Pox when she was at the clinic. A boy who didn't know he had it was in the waiting room. They are testing him, and if he is positive Emily will have to get an infusion of Gamma Globulin, which boots your immune system temporarily just in case she was exposed. We got a call around 8:45 tonight and the first test of the kid was inconclusive, so they are going to re-test him tomorrow and let us know.

I'm so sorry to hear that Emily's ANC level is still under 500 and then the chicken pox exposure! We will just keep praying and thinking of her daily. Please keep us posted. Love you. Grannie & Grampa
I am thinking of you always...I hope that you will see the levels rise real soon. I will keep you in my prayers.
Love, Lori
Give my hugs to Emily.
So sorry to hear about the setbacks. We are hoping that she was not exposed to chicken pox. Wishing you a wonderful father's day and Happy Birthday Tracy!
