We just returned from the hospital and got some good and bad (not too bad!) news concerning Ava's numbers. The most important number - ANC (indicates white blood cell count) - has gone up from 660 to 915. This is good news!
However, her platelets dropped by 10 from 75 to 65. Dr. Cruz was not concerned and views the uptick in ANC as an excellent sign. She also approved us to go on our trip/retreat this weekend. We have a travel letter and strict instructions to get Ava to a hospital if any bleeding occurs, if a fever arises, or if other issues occur.
Overall, we are very encouraged and are so thankful for all your encouraging words and prayers!
Oh I am so glad to hear this. Love y'all so much.
