Avery received platelets around 1am and will have another this morning to get her count above 100 before beginning chemo today.

  • WBC: 37.4
  • Hgb: 8.8
  • Platelets: 71
  • Uric acid: 3.0
  • Potassium: 4.3

Uric acid is a little low, so sheโ€™s still on meds for that.

Weโ€™ll start watching ANC numbers as we start her therapy. If it falls below 500, sheโ€™s at a greater risk of infection. She is currently at 1.79 (in thousands).

She was nursing when Mom & Dad called this morning and in a really good mood. All smiles.

The LP (spinal tap) should be around 12-1pm today. It will be done in the room and she wonโ€™t be put to sleep for it.

No indication of what time they will start the big meds yet. The nurse suggested soon after LP is finished.
