Blood count update

So Lucy's blood work came back, and it looks good (well good for a cancer patient, knowing that their blood work is never "normal").  Her liver enzymes are a little elevated but not horrible, they are pretty normal for a person going through chemo.  So now we wait.  She has been hooked up to IV fluids to ensure no dehydration.  And she did eat breakfast, and so far has kept it down....we shall see.  We are hoping the doc will come in soon and release her.  They think its just a virus. Not stomach flu but other nasty virus.  So I've got clorox wipes out and steam cleaner..although we've all already been exposed so it may be too late.
I just hope its gone by Friday.  We are having a Sgt. Peppers Birthday with a magical mystery tour!  Then this weekend, she got a "bear hug" from an organization that gave her a trip to the American Girl Doll store in Chicago with a hotel room and a personal shopper to pick out her very own doll.  She doesn't know yet....we were going to surprise her.  I hope she's better by then and the rest of us aren't sick!

I'll post again after the doctor comes in and gives us the "official" low down.  thank you for the well wishes.

  1. WOO HOO! Every little bit of good news is awesome for a cancer patient. Praying the rest of the family doesn't get sick and that Lucy is well enough to go on her shopping trip!
