Just in case your interested in her blood work. Her ANC is zero. She has 4 monocytes which is better than zero, but still not really anything. Her white blood count is 0.5 (normal is 6.0). She got platelets on Sunday which put her platelets up to 128 (normal is in the 400's - I think). Today her platelets are 98. So, her body is just hanging out at zero.
She is really happy and having such a good time with everyone who is taking turns staying with her. She LOVES getting her mail each day. Thank you so much for sending pictures for her walls. She has loved all of the different pictures everyone has colored for her.
If you would still like to color a holiday picture for Erin you can mail it to:

Rachel really enjoyed her visit with Erin today! It was the high point of her day! (Even if our nurse practitioner got after her for coming in Erin's room...) Sure hoping Erin's ANC starts to jump up soon. Hope you know that your family will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Man, come on neutrophils! :) You guys are such troopers! Thanks for the update - we sure hope you are able to get out of there soon! We're praying hard every night for that ANC to rise.
ReplyDeleteDear Erin,
ReplyDeleteThis is your aunt Erin. Please tell your counts to go up SOON!!! I will try my best to be patient in the meantime. I love you and can't wait to see you again!!
Love, Aunt Erin
