Still low ANC


Wow! All the support we are getting is just so overwhelming! I cannot stress how lucky we are to know amazing people! Thank you thank you thank you to all the donors and all the prayers we are getting. We are so blessed!

We woke up again to a lower ANC count. Her count as of today is at 30. Scary to think you child has such a low immune system. It’s good that we are here to monitor any type of illness she may get. It’s hard to be here and we are on day 13 of overnight hospital stays, but we are lucky that we are able to be here and monitor her. The doctors have decided to only check Jillians counts on Mondays and Thursdays now, since her ANC count is so low they do not want to risk accessing her PICC line on a daily basis and risking infection. So they will check on Thursday to see where she is at. So we have a few days to pray her numbers go up! Her platelet count is rising so we are happy with that. If it goes below 10,000 then she will need a blood transfusion and this morning I believe she was at 117,000.  We have another mellow day today; we just have to find interesting ways to entertain Jillian. Any ideas anyone has to entertain a four year old that cannot leave the hospital is greatly appreciated! We will take any advice J Happy Monday everyone!
