My mom had her weekly appointment today with her doctor at Northwestern. Last week we were wondering about her platelet level but this week it went back up 10 points! We were so happy to hear that :) Her doctor said that the drop could have been caused by the red blood cell treatment she was getting. Mom's red cell count is hanging in there, too. It went down a tiny bit from last week but that's still expected at this point and is at a fine level where she doesn't need a transfusion.
Another good thing is that her appointments are now going to be every 2 weeks instead of weekly. She'll still have her blood taken each week at Ottawa Hospital but she won't need to drive to Chicago as often.
Many blessings to report once again! No matter what, God is truly in control and we will trust in Him through every step of this journey. Mary (and all of us) thanks you all so much for your prayers and love.
