Counts low, but infection going away

Hello Family and Friends,

Jennifer had her surgery yesterday afternoon to remove the port line and it went well. The pain in her chest is a lot better but she is still having some pain. It should get even better today. They are going to put the new PIC line in tomorrow. Her headaches are a lot better, she getting only 1 or 2 of them a day.

Her counts are still very very low but with the infection going away, its time to get her counts up. Her ANC today was 90 and her white cells count is at .24. So keep praying for big numbers!

She received 2 units of blood and 1 unit of platelets yesterday. Please go give blood in your area. (HELP SOMEONE)

Timmy came down last night and will be staying until tomorrow morning. Jennifer is happy to see her brother. Elaine is babysitting in Austin.

So, it’s rebuilding time. Go Jennifer Go!

Tim
