We were hoping this weeks clinic visit would show higher counts BUT, no such luck. :(
Her WBC is at 1900, ANC 700, EOS are up to 15(normal is 0-5) and her weight went from 19 kilos to 18.
THE GOOD NEWS is that along with the EOS being up her MONOS are up to 23(normal is 0-12)! What are MONOS? Great question. They are premature cells coming from the bone marrow which means that Emily's bone marrow is TRYING to work! It's just spitting out the cells too soon. "Is this normal?" I asked. The nurse looked at me and said "Emily is never NORMAL!" What was I thinking???
THE OTHER GREAT NEWS is that she LOOKS AMAZING! She has more energy then ever before. We went to the park the other day and she went across the monkey bars about 10 times! I only made it once and she said I didn't do very good!!! (Grandpa couldn't even do 1 rung! He blamed it on his shoulder..hmmm. :) ) Emily runs around, laughs, plays and dances more than ever which tells us SOMETHING must be RIGHT!
The doctors are stumped as to why this is happening but are hopeful that she will come out of it once she is off Cyclosporine which happens next month! If her counts don't go back up they will do a bone marrow test to see whats going on. SOOO, for now, we just enjoy the good days and pray her counts will catch up with her energy!
