Tuesday - June 22, 2004
Kenna’s counts continue to improve. Today she had her weekly checkup and the ANC had tripled to 988. Low normal is 1,500 and children with 500 are considered able to attend school!
Both girls have the nasty cold still lingering. Carsyn sounds terrible but seems un-phased. Kenna’s congestion is making her (and therefore also her Mom) miserable, but mercifully there hasn’t been a fever this time to send her into the hospital. It’s wonderful.
I went to the appointment and then stayed over to watch the girls while Adrienne got some errands done. Kenna also has sores in her mouth that she keeps toying with, but is not bleeding yet. Tomorrow is likely to be platelet transfusion. She used to be getting them one day shy of a week. Now the pattern seems to be one day over a week. That looks to us like a good sign too.
With joy and hope,
MJ
