Wow! CBC - 10/03/2007

Max's numbers couldn't have been much better. I am thrilled, the doctor is thrilled, everyone is thrilled. He looks great, and the numbers matched how good he looks. Dr. Ebb still wants to wait until next month before starting school, though. No sense in risking things at this point. He will get checked again at the end of the Oct, just before the Make a Wish trip. Then, hopefully we will finally schedule the port removal. That is only day surgery, so it shouldn't be too bad.

If all goes well, this was the last time he will get the IV antibiotics. He could have just had oral meds this month, but because he was already accessed and the music therapist had told him she was coming to see him, I opted for the IV meds. He loved music therapy as usual. We also played some games, watched a movie, and did some art. He got to play with playdough with a little boy a bit younger than him, too. It was a nice visit.

Here they are. :)

WBC: 5.8
HCT: 35.0
HGB: 12.6
PLT: 127
ANC: 2240

I am pretty sure that the WBC, HCT, and HGB are all at the highest level we have seen.

May next month be as good.
