What A Difference A Day Makes

So, we went to the hospital on Saturday and my mom's platelet count was up to 70,000! Can you believe that?! From Thursday to Saturday it was up 30,000.
wow.
Today we went for a CBC follow up at Dr. Parloy's and guess what?
Her count went up to 118,000!
Holy Cow!
Amazing!
And guess what else?
She started chemo, too!
Apparently, the counts have to be 100,000 or greater in order to start chemo...so, they gave her the go ahead.
and here we are... on on the 6th and FINAL cycle!!
AND we are on schedule...we didn't even end up being delayed!
oh...
AND SHE GOT HER PICC LINE OUT
so now she just has the Medi-port!
(i have a photo of the PICC line...i promise i will post it tomorrow)
