day 77 August 21, 2009

Friday- We got up and made it into the city without a lot of traffic. We got a good report. Cody's counts are holding. His white blood count is 7.7 with the normal range between 4-11. His hemoglobin is a little low but holding steady. It is at 10.7 and the normal range is 13-17. They transfuse at 8 I think. His platelets are 6700 with the normal range 160,000-400,000. They are the last to come in but he is holding them which is a good sign. His ANC, absolute neutrophil count is 6.1 with normal being between 1.5-8.8. By normal range, I mean for the average adult not someone with a BMT but he is in that range.

We left the clinic and were home by 12. I should only hope all visits are like that.
