This past visit was good, but a close one to being delayed. After dropping Benson off at another friend's house (where he'd never been before - what a trooper he is!) we drove to Boise and did our usual thing.
We got to meet with Dr. Hansen again, with was really nice. I was out of questions for him, though. :) Kayla's neutrophil count was down to 650. Since we are in the middle of a cycle (week 4), her neutrophils have to be at least 500. Phew! Her platelets were good, about 300. The nurse brought up her hemoglobin being a little low, but still good. I wasn't sure where the line was on that because Kayla has never had an issue with it. She said that they like to delay chemo if it gets down to or below 7. Kayla's were at about 9, so over all, we were good to go. Halleluia! This has been the first cycle in a long time with no delays whatsoever. Her next two weeks are off weeks for chemo, but we will still have to go in - probably both weeks since her counts were so low. I really hope they bounce back so we can get through the LAST 6 week cycle with no delays! 4 more doses of chemo and the rest are off weeks. Yay!
We had a quiet day in the chemo suite, watching movies, eating and doing projects. For the last hour, Kayla's new little friend was outside, so we went out and played games with her and Miss Jenn. Nothing too spectacular to report, just the usual stuff.
One more week down.
