Another Good Day - CBC 10/29/2007

I am utterly exhausted, having spent much of the day driving to Boston, taking Lauren for a hip x-ray (looked great) and then Max up to pedi hem/onc, but I wanted to write so that people could hear the wonderful news. Max's counts were very good yet again, and they are scheduling the port removal for some time in November. Dr. Ebb was really pleased. He gave him the okay to start preschool and to do "anything he wants to do." I think we will go to the Science Museum as soon as we get back from Turks and Caicos. :)

The kids were really great, considering that they each got dragged to the other's appointment. Lauren insisted that Dr. Ebb give her a full checkup, too, though. At least Max didn't insist on a hip x-ray.

Here are the numbers. The platelets were down a tiny bit, but the numbers fluxuate and in the whole scheme of things, they are basically stable.

WBC: 6.7!!!!
HCT: 35.8!
HBG: 13.1? (I don't have the paper here and am too tired to track it down)
PLT: 114
ANC: 3220!

His labs were so normal that there were only three flags this time (they mark if the numbers are high or low). Usually, pretty much the entire lab sheet is flagged. Amazing.
