Debbie's white cell count continued to fall and was down to 600 this morning. Again, the doctor said it should bottom out somewhere around 100-200. We expect this to happen in the next couple of days. We are not sure how long we will stay down, but the doctor told us that somewhere between day 17 and 21 her counts will start to go back up. For the past few days Debbie has had a low grade fever. It climbed a little higher today and they drew more blood for a culture and did a chest xray to find out what is driving the fever. They are treating her mysterious rash with an antibiotic just in case it is a staph infection. Currently she is on two antibiotics and saline through her IV.
She felt pretty well for most of the day although her appetite is waning. She was eating some veggie soup for supper when I talked to her this evening. She was able to rest most of today which is good because tomorrow is a big day. She will have her bone marrow biopsy sometime tomorrow late morning or early afternoon. The biopsy is quite painful - so please pray for her comfort through the procedure. But most importantly please pray for a good report from this biopsy. We are praying for complete remission! We know that God is in control of this.
Pray for peace of mind tonight as she rests. Pray for us as we wait for the results of the biopsy. We should have the results within 24-48 hours.
Thank you for praying with us on this journey and for sending her encouragement through cards and letters. She can feel the prayers lifted on her behalf!
