blood count results...

We just got Seth's blood counts back and they are very low. His white counts are 100 (normal is 7500), platelets are at 12,000 (normal is 200,000) and is red counts are at 9.6 ( normal is 11). I am going to call down to Johns Hopkins first thing in the morning and see if they can give Seth a transfusion. Keep praying for protection with his counts being so low.

October 13th

Today is Seth's routine blood work to see how much the chemo hurt his blood counts. Hopefully his counts are good and he does not need any transfusions. He is scheduled to see his Doctor at Johns Hopkins on November 3rd. I am thinking we will hear details at that meeting about when his next MRI is and when they are planning on taking Seth's port out. Seth is doing really well :) He has more energy and his walking is getting better. We went away this weekend and drove to a boulder field. I was surprised that Seth went out on the rocks and had the balance and strength to walk across the rocks. It is at times like that that I see how far he has come since last July and I am just so thankful!! We are still planning on doing a celebration but need to schedule the place. I plan on posting the celebration date in the next few days.
