Still floating


We've had relative calm since last Tuesday, phew!  Her CSA level was just out of range so they agreed to let us skip Thursday's blood draw so we could give her veins a break.  This is nice not only from a logistics standpoint but also because it relieves us from the unpleasant experience of waiting for the nurse's call giving us her blood counts.  Also there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm about inserting a line at this point so giving her veins a break was pretty important.  Today's blood draw showed she is still floating down from last week's big refuel but doesn't need another transfusion yet.  Her numbers were hmg 9, plt 9,000, ANC 360 and CSA 332.  We were given the option of waiting until next Monday to test again and we gladly accepted.  Thus we'll hope her body makes it until then, hope, hope, hope....
