Jesse and I began our usual clinic morning routine. We actually were 15 minutes later than I had planned on leaving, but it worked out great because we were there by 7:30. Then we went through our normal routine there of weighing, measuring, and drawing blood samples.
Jesse’s weight was 10.5kg, which is a little more than 23lbs. She is currently on a medicine to increase her appetite. (And she is eating more and wanting more to eat)
Her ANC was 1425, which is 75 points lower than normal range. But her red blood was 9.3 and platelets were 129. All of us are very excited about this because no transfusions! Her body is recovering from the chemo.
Her doctor did tell me she has got to eat, eat, eat! This means that Chris is going to try to eat, eat, eat with her. I’m going to have to put that one on a running schedule so that she doesn’t end up being an unhealthy weight.
Jesse asked her doctor if she could have McDonald’s. He told her yes she could as long as it was fried. Jesse is elated to have McDonald’s back.
Right now our next steps are CT Scan, Audiogram, and meeting with the Radiation Oncologist.
