Back from Denver, all is well

We're back from Denver now, and all is well. Her fever is gone, and she check out all good. Maybe she just has a little cold because of her counts being so low. While we were down there, since we had an appointment for Tuesday anyway, they went ahead and did the next chemo treatment. This will be the last one of her induction treatment. After next weeks bone marrow test, she will have a week off for her body to recover and get her counts back up before she starts her consolidation phase of the treatment, 2 months I think. She'll be off the Predinsone for a bit which will hopefully make her less moody and whiney. That will be a big releif to us, let me tell you.

Her counts are 1300 total White cells, 400 ANC, and the rest of it looks good too. She still is at risk of a fever/infection but not as low as she has been, that is a good sign that her bone marrow is starting work good again.

Well, I'm off to rest. Just wanted to let everyon know that things are A-OK.
