Her Counts Went UP!

Wow!  Here I am again!  Twice in one day!  We just received the phone call with Kayleigh's results and boy was I surprised, but very pleased.  None of Kayleigh's counts went down from Friday's results!  They all went up! :)  Her WBC went up from 1.1 to 1.5, hemoglobin from 8.6 to 8.9, platelets from 295,000 to 365,000, and ANC from 460 to 770.  It was the platelet and ANC counts that mattered for her scheduled LP (lumbar puncture) and chemotherapy.  They're both in the "good" zone and so we will spend tomorrow at the Almost Home unit with her entering phase 5, Maintenance. *sigh*  :)  :(  :o  I'm a bowl full of mixed emotions for sure now!  My wishes came true that the show is back on the road, so to speak.  Yay!  However, with that I think comes more worries.  All along, she's been either at AH or the clinic at least every two weeks or so.  Now, she'll only be there once per month to have her blood checked and be sure she remains in remission.  Also, most of the chemotherapy, aside fro the once per month visits, will be administered at home adding a little more stress.  I believe she's going to be on three types of pills, all given for different lengths of time, one only one day per week, one for five days per week, another for five days per month.  We have to be consistent!  I must remain positive, just as our amazing little girl is all of the time.  Please continue to keep her in your positive thoughts and prayers.
