Update 7/6/11

Mom had a good weekend home after being discharged on Saturday. She was able to join in the birthday celebration for Andrew, see some fireworks, and visit with family.
Today she had a bit of a bump in the road--she took a little spill in the hallway, but was OK. She did have a fever though, so we were off to the IU West ER for some followup. After some blood work and scans, it was determined that she might have a bit if an infection, but it was not conclusive. She will see her oncologist tomorrow to determine what else, if anything, she needs to do.
On the good side, we got blood counts back:
ANC-- 1200
WBC-- 1.9
HGB-- 8.9
Platelets--118
These are all increases from her numbers the day of the discharge, so that is a good thing!

We'll keep you posted as move on to the next step of the process.
