Cooper had his blood drawn today. He had a port placed that he recieves chemo through and also blood draws. He is very brave. He has this port accessed every Monday and Thursday that we are home so the doctors know what his blood counts are. Cooper also recieves a shot called neulasta after each week of chemo to help his body make more new cells. We just heard from the doctor and his ANC is down to 1-2, so he is neutropenic. This means no neutrophils to fight off infections. Lets hope there are no fevers this time that land us in the hospital and that his neulasta shot kicks in soon to raise his counts.
Just recieved another phone call from the doctor and it looks like he will need a blood transfusion, this is #2. He is scheduled for tomorrow at 12:00. Hopefully it helps.
So when do you get to come south again? Cause you know that SLC is an awesome place to be :)How was that Cadbury egg, haha.
