Monday

Hello. So much for an easy Monday visit, but nothing really bad to report either. They have ordered Trish a bottle of white today (platlets). All of her counts are down slightly -- don't panic if you look at her Neutrophils on the chart early today, we are still waiting for the ANC count as of this writing and since I posted the other numbers the ANC looks like it is at zero.

Trish will get her bottle of whites, I'll grab some lunch and go back to work. We'll head back to Aunt Mary's. We heard from Dr. G this morning and she took a quick look at Trish's marrow and says it looks ok -- we need to wait for the chemistry (flow cytometry) to be done to know for sure what the status is. We should get this back tomorrow or Wednesday.

I am just praying that we get a clean bill of health to go home at the end of this week. I think that is the only thing that will revitalize Trish for the fight ahead.

I hope everyone had a great Easter yesterday. I cooked some pasta for Trish and cousin John and myself. Spaghetti (Trish's favorite), meatballs (frozen from the bag), salad and a Pepridge Farms Frozen choclate cake. A long cry from us hosting Easter dinner at our house and Trish's home made creations, but we gave thanks and enjoyed it just the same.
