The End of Intensified Consolidation

Sadie is officially done with the Consolidation phase!

As expected, her counts are too low to start the next phase.  As the doctor's put it, "her marrow just takes a while to recover."  Right now her ANC is zero.  Wiped out, gone.  She has no ability to fight infection.  She needs to be at least 750 before we can begin Interim Maintenance.  I'm expecting we'll be delayed 3 weeks again.  Her ANC will probably hover around 2 or 3 hundred until week three, then it'll jump up to the thousands.  (That's my prediction.)

So for now we keep her safe, wash our hands a lot, and watch for fevers.  Oh, and enjoy the break from meds!

Yea! I am so glad that you guys are done with 2 rounds! Now, if germs didn't exist it would make the 'staying healthy' part so much easier:)
