It's late, but I can't go to bed without telling everyone about our clinic visit today!
Emily's WBC went up from 1800 to 24oo, and her ANC went from 700 to 1300!!
THIS IS GREAT NEWS! I looked at Emily and reminded her what our family had fasted for this past Sunday. Our prayers and fasting are doing the trick! Emily started Woo Hooing and doing a little dance. It was so darn cute!
Her nurse even told me not to worry about her weight loss. She weighed in at 17.6 which is down from 18.4 last time. I was grateful!
Emily's last day on immuno-suppressants is SUNDAY! (We are going to have to celebrate)
Dr. Pulsipher came in and gave us the "plan". This means the next 3 months is test time. Will her body hold strong? Will her body make her own immunities? He even took her off IVIG, wanting to test her to see if she can fight things on her own.
We are hoping her body will start making Magnesium on it's own too because when it does, that means no more IV meds every day...which means she can have her central line OUT!
This is all very exciting but scary at the same time. We just have to put our faith in the Lord and let His will be our will. I know if I remember this, there will be no room for fear!
Dr. Pulsipher gave Emily the thumbs up to go to Camp Hobe' for a day camp next week which she is so excited about. It is in the mountains so it was questionable. He said, "As long as she doesn't touch dirt, isn't around dust and doesn't play in the water she should be just fine". Thank goodness it's a camp for kids with cancer and other illnesses that require chemo and transplants. They will totally understand!
Hopefully by the end of the summer she will have proven that her body is strong and able to fight off infections on her own! This will be a VERY EXCITING DAY for EVERYONE!!!
Thank you for keeping her in your prayers :)
