Good news first... Zoe's new port worked perfectly today!!!! Thank heaven! We had a "quick" office visit and now we're home and Z and I are both going to take a nap.
Bad news... Zoe is neutropenic - meaning that her level of neutrophils (the type of white blood cell that fights off infections) is dangerously low. Not good... She got close to the neutropenic level a few weeks ago but then her white counts went back up but since dropped a ton this past week. Her red blood cells, hematocrit, and hemoglobin counts have also been low for several weeks. So... she is basically in isolation this week and we have to be careful about what she eats.
If you were looking for something specific to pray for, pray that Zoe's counts can go back up and that she will not get any sort of infection.
We'll definately keep her in our prayers. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeletePrayers are coming your way..I have been following your blog since you started it. It just jerks at my heart strings hearing all the trials you guys are going through. And little Zoe what a trooper!! I look at my little girls and think what would I do if something like that happened to them. You are a great mom and soooo strong. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
