April 9th - Week 47 - Off Week

Even though I enjoy going to the clinic and spending the day with all the nurses and staff there, I really enjoy Kayla's off weeks, too.  We went in on Tuesday, not needing to pack for the entire day or even find a sitter for Benson.  We just brought him along.  He likes to come with us and I don't mind bringing him--on short days. :)

Things went pretty smoothly getting there, checking in, getting accessed and meeting with Marnie.  Everything looks good, Kayla is doing great and we don't need to come in next week (yay!) unless she gets sick or something.   Her platelets were at 160 (good) and her neutrophils (infection fighters) were 2500!  They haven't been that high for a really long time.   Kayla's next MRI is on Friday, so I asked the nurse, Heather, about coming to the clinic first to get Kayla's port accessed before we go over to check in at the hospital.  She said it would be no problem, so we scheduled that.  

And we were on our way home.  Nice.
