blood counts and ear tubes...

Kaidan is doing well. She has been extremely tired the last few days, but I'm hoping it's just from the hot weather and late nights. She hasn't had any more fevers.

I received a call from oncology yesterday and they wanted to know what dose of chemo she was on. They had conflicting information in their notes and they weren't sure what we were doing!! I can't believe the mistakes they make up there. I'm glad that I'm pretty on top of it, otherwise who knows where we'd be. They also wanted to increase her to 50% (they thought she was still at 25%), but I said no. Her counts are dropping, and just because they are still a little higher than they'd like (Kaidan's ANC was 1900, down from 3200, but they want her between 750 and 1500)I don't think we should jump to increasing it with as sensitive as she seems to be with the higher doses. Anyway...we are drawing labs tomorrow and we'll go from there.

Porter is going to be getting tubes in his ears next Friday, the 17th. This should relieve him from his constant ear pain and infections.

We are now planning the "PARTY" to celebrate the end of a very, very long 2 1/2 years on Friday, October 16th. I'll update with more information soon...

Serious doctors seem to be making a lot of stupid mistakes lately so every should be as on top of things as you are! Our lil' guy got ear tubes when we was 13 months and it has made a world of difference!
