The labs are back and show that Jessie still doesn't have much of an immune system right now. She is having a delayed reaction to the last chemo she received in the hospital. Her counts are dropping.
The good news is they may have bottomed out. There are signs in her blood work (monocytes in particular ) that are rising which is a precursor to her neutrophils rising. This should be an indication that her immune system will be coming back shortly.
Until then we pray that she doesn't get a fever. If she does get a fever and her counts are low, she will need to be admitted back into Children's hospital until she gets better.
I have one word for Jessie, "purell"!!
