Wednesday Mom headed back to the doctors to check her WBC and possibly begin her final Revlimid cycle. Unfortunately, she's only at 1100 white blood cells. Her doctor doesn't seem worried and thank God (yes, please take a moment to thank Him) the kids (and thus my mom) haven't been sick yet. She got another Neuprogen shot and will make the 30 minute drive again next Wednesday to have blood work, again.
As I was going through some boxes this week, I found the notebook I kept during my mom's stem cell transplant. It was kind of funny to see how neurotic I was. I wrote down everything, medicines she had to take, her temperature and blood sugars, a few days I wrote what food she ate and how she reacted, and near the end her blood work. I discovered after her chemo, her WBC dropped to below 100. We are grateful for the extra 1000 this time, but could really use about 4000 more :)
Today Mom is hosting a Lily & Nana Special Day. Right now they should be taking naps but what they are actually doing...hmmm.
