Wednesday - Reposted

Hi Guys....Bill here,

Sorry for not posting yesterday....I was supposed to do the update and I forgot! Erin is still doing very well. We are on day 16 (from the start of this round of chemo) which is well into the normal stage where she starts feeling bad and no signs of the usual side affects! Hallelujah!! We went to the clinic to get labs and see the PA this afternoon. For your scorecards, her WBC is still <0.3, platelets are 19, H&H is 29.5%, and Neutrophil is 16%. In other words her immune system is still bottomed out. The PA went ahead and scheduled Erin for a bone marrow biopsy on July 23rd which will be the last one that is part of the chemo protocol. Not positive what the routine will be after that but we think it will start out with monthly clinic visits to get labs drawn and if all goes well gradually taper down to quarterly visits.

Well, other than that, we have been playing a lot of "Skip-Bo" this week for entertainment. Laura and Erin have been playing non-stop marathon rounds dragging in anyone and everyone they can along the way.

Hope you all are having a blessed week and thanks for hanging with us! We count you all in our blessings every day!!

Bill
