Thursday Afternoon 1:15pm
Greetings, PRAISE THE LORD! GOD IS SO GOOD! PRAISE THE LORD!
ALL THE TIME! PRAISE THE LORD! ALL THE TIME! GOD IS SO GOOD!
AND ALL GOD'S PEOPLE SAY AMEN!
***** GOOD NEWS *****
THIS IS A GOOD DAY! THE DAY WE HAVE WAITED FOR! THE DAY THE LORD HAS PROVIDED!
THE BLOOD COUNTS THIS MORNING WERE:
WHITE BLOOD COUNT 11,900 (4000 TO 10500)
HEMOGLOBIN 8.7 (12.5-16.0)
PLATELET 99 (150-450)
God is so good. Thank you Lord! And thank you to everyone for the support!
Dr. Lee said the neupogen, which is the med for the bone marrow, is what speeded things up. It is a fairly new med, but he now told us that it seems to be cutting off 5 to 7 days of the process for the bone marrow to come back. He had not told us about that. That is also the med that he doubled just a few days ago. He also said it is the one that is causing Marty's head ache.
So, how are things today. Excited, of course, because the edge of the woods is in view, and the trip home to Peru looks sooner rather than later. There still are a few issues to be dealt with, but they will come:
head ache - probably neupogen which has been discontinued
water retention - some more "vit. L"
stomach &
colon - PTN to be discontinued as eating is increased
mouth sores - continue meds
hip and leg pain - " " and hope that as bone marrow settles
down so will the discomfort
And the biggest one is another waiting time of about two weeks give or take when another bone marrow biopsy will be done to see what the status of the cancer is. There is a 50/50 chance that it was put into remission and we will now have to wait and see. Of course, Dr. Lee has also told us from the beginning that there are no guarantees as to how long a remission will last - it could be a day, a month, a year, or several years.
So we praise and thank God for getting us over this big hurdle and ask for God's continued assistance and guidance with the ones to come. Praise the Lord!
This is so late I need to get it published. Have a good rest of the day and God bless.
