We started the second 6 weeks of chemo for
Alex today. Other than the lab being behind which pushed everything back
(no definite neutrophil count=no chemo). Alex has to have a neutrophil
count of 750 to start the new rounds and his count today was 858. So far
so good today. The problem with a neutrophil count of 858 is that he is
still susceptible to everything under the sun. So he's staying home
with us the rest of the week and we'll see what Friday brings.
His bone marrow is not bouncing back anywhere near as fast as it has in the past and it may just be time to start alternating my working at home with Robert taking leave. Especially when we had two hospitalizations in the last cycle and as much as I am happy with the care we get at Children's, I really prefer my home with all of my guys here.
