Emily's WBC is 7800 and her ANC is 5600. Yes, these are good numbers :) She hasn't been on Gamma Globulin since June and her levels are in the normal range!
Emily weighed in at 18 kilograms which is about 39 lbs. She is now in the 1% in weight and the 2% in height. She has finally gotten out of the 0%! She is up about a pound from 2 months ago; which isn't a ton but it is going in the right direction ;) I am so happy she is eating!
We are going to see a G.I. doctor to see what might be causing all of her stomach pains; but other than this, she is doing FABULOUS! she is so tough! She told me the other day, "Mom, I don't want to tell my teacher and my friends that my tummy hurts because it is embarrassing. They can't do anything anyway so I figure I should just stay at school since it will hurt either way and I want to play after school so it will help me forget my pain."
She is very motivated by playing isn't she ;)
This has been a long 8 years of worrying, worrying and worrying! I must say it feels wonderful to finally go to the doctor and leave with positive results!
Things are finally looking UP for our sweet little miracle!!
