Last Chemo Treatment Delayed

Just wanted to let everyone know that because of my little side trip to the hospital, my 8th chemo treatment was delayed one week.  It will be on June 23rd.  This will be my LAST chemo treatment!!!  I'm hoping recovery will go a little smoother :).

Holly gets a hospital stay... but is home

I got a call from Holly last Wednesday that she had a fever and the doctors wanted her to go to the hospital since her levels were near zero.  Unfortunately she was home alone with me in Baltimore and the girls in Chattanooga.

Fortunately, Laura next door was able to get her to the hospital that night, as well as take care of Holly's new best friend, Boone.  The girls were able to get home the next day and I was home the next day after that.

Her fever dropped, but her levels were very slow to fight back, so Saturday  Dr Herzig gave her a "growth factor" shot that jumped her levels up overnight.  She went from a 0.8 to 7.4 overnight (she started at a very low 0.3) and was sent home Sunday, after 4 nights.  Normal range is 4.5 to 10.0

Currently, she's doing well, but still feels weak and drained.
