Time For a Blood Test

Today is Wednesday and that means we have to go to North Country Hospital for a blood test before tomorrow's treatment. If her ANC is at 750 or above, she is going to get a lumbar puncture for chemo and more chemo through her IV. This does is supposed to be nasty, and the drugs being used are the same drugs that were used when she ended up in the hospital the first time. We aren't looking forward to this round.

If her ANC is still below 750, then the treatment will be put off for another week. I'm hoping they can put it off since she still hasn't fully recovered from the side-effects of the last treatment two weeks ago.

Her morning has gone reasonable well so far with only one trantrum. Her biggest complaint is that her feet hurt which is a real problem because she refuses to walk. I get nervous when she refuses to walk.
