Addison had a Dr apt yesterday for her 1st CBC in almost 3 weeks! It was so nice to live a somewhat normal life for a few weeks without doctor apt dictating our week's schedule. Addison was due for her port flush (happens every 5 to 6 weeks) and surprisingly that went really well! Addison is no longer terrified of bandades so that seems to help since I have to apply the numbing cream an hour before her apt to help numb the port site. Her CBC on the other hand did not go well, which it typically doesn't when they pull blood from the port. Her counts had dropped across the board which really disturbed me since her RBC has been steady for so many months. The Dr assured us these fluctuations can be normal and last years when you have a compromised bone marrow but with my hormones so out of whack I just didn't handle the news very well at all. I felt like we were back to square one and back to the weekly roller coaster of fluctuating levels. Her counts were:
WBC 3.66 (down from 5.07)
HGB 9.1 (down from 10.9)
platelets 31 (actually up from 29)
Neutraphil 741 (down from 1190)
We had a great Thanksgiving holiday in Vero. Addison lived outside the whole time we were there! Will post the few pics I took later.
