Margaret had blood work today and her white blood cell count doubled from yesterday. The number of white blood cells she has is now.2, that has doubled from yesterday but still very, very low. She is on IV antibiotics to help prevent any new infections and one her numbers climb or early next week I think they will let her out. They have stopped one of her anti-rejections meds, cellcept. The purpose of cellcept is to lower your white blood count, well the chemo is doing just a fine job of that already and if they stop the cellcept maybe her blood count will not plummet into the toilet so far. They are working to get the stomach cramps under control and they are going to try a new approach. The long term solution is to get the lymphoma out of the digestive tract but they are looking for a shorter term solution. That is really her main issue currently and has been causing her a lot of pain.
Also since the weather has changed a bit here. It snowed and the grass and sidewalks have snow on them, not much but some. It is supposed to 23 tonight s I think I may have to think about putting the liner in my nylon jacket.
That’s all I know for now, thanks.
