Mom awoke feeling pretty good today with a strong outlook. She continues to eat well, walk many times in a day, and loves to share with me about her childhood stories. Mom experienced a little spa day by me today. Tomorrow will be her massage. Her head leukemia bumps are completely gone. The 2 biopsy's on her head are a good 80% healed. She exhibits no pain nor discomfort.
Early afternoon one of Mom's Doctors on her team came by to inform her that she is at her low point in numbers. The Dr. complimented Mom on how well she has and is responding to the advanced Chemo treatment. Her doctor also informed her at this time the blood tests are showing NO blast cells (NO leukemic cells)are in her blood. Yes, this means there is presently NO cancer cells showing up. Mom shrieked with excitement and big smiles.
Mom received her first of several injections of Neupogen this evening. She will receive an injection daily for the next week. Neupogen assists to elevate Mom's numbers. We hope to see in 7-10 days her numbers show a considerable increase. Mom then can rely on her own system to fight off bacteria, fungal and viral infections. She then can home safely. After her numbers reach a certain level she then will be heading back for another bone marrow biopsy.
Mom was tired and ready to get some shut eye by 8:00pm. Brian and I tucked her in and shortly left there after.
I will add more tomorrow. Enjoy "hump" day.
Lots of Hugs and Good Health,
Karen
