The doctor just came in to tell us what Katie's blood count is. Its low. Her white blood count is just 1.1 and her absolute neutrophil count is only 770. Her numbers have suffered a precipitous drop over the last four days. Considering an ANC of 500 will put her back in the hospital for days, we are a little worried about this. Also, given the number of illnesses floating around our house lately, a dropping ANC does not inspire hope of a healthy near future.
I'm also going to write down her basic number here so that we don't forget them...
ANC 770
WBC 1.1
HemoGlobin 8.1
