Morning Update
Carson's blood work this morning showed continued signs of improvement. Although his ANC is still below 100 - making him critically susceptible to other illnesses - the monocytes and white blood cells are booming. The doctor is confident things are looking better and expects the ANC to rise in short order. In fact, right now the plan is to send us home later today. Thank you, Lord!
We still have a ways to go. We'll go to the outpatient clinic in the morning and Carson will probably need another blood transfusion before the weekend. (His hemoglobin level is right on the edge of needing a resupply.) And then the task of sorting out Carson's medications begin. The goal is to keep his ANC around 1,000. Obviously the previous dosages were WAY too heavy. Regardless, we are VERY thankful for the direction we are heading.
Thank you to everyone for the continued prayers and uplifting comments. If it weren't for the prayers, comments, and grace from our Lord, I don't know how we'd get through the day. Thank you!!
Paul
P.S. Only 2 days left until Relay for Life.
