Yeah! Jessie's blood work this week shows that her immunity has come up and she is ready to start her oral chemotherapy pills.
Her ANC is up to 1318 and her platelets are up to 113. Her hemoglobin is holding steady at 9.1 since her blood transfusions 2 weeks ago. Wow. Time flies. Feels like yesterday when I met her at Children's and she got the transfusions.
More good news - her college is so great. The nurse practitioner, Lee couldn't reach her by phone one day last week and was so concerned she looked up Jessie's schedule and sent someone to do a "well check" on her! What service! You don't get that at a big school. I'm so glad she is at St Mary's. They are taking great care of her. I feel like I have someone who really cares about her welfare and is my eyes and ears down there. Thank you Lee!
So tomorrow Jessie will start her oral meds and hopefully things will go a little smoother from now on.
I'll let you know! :-)
