Good news and weird news

Catherine came home this afternoon! Her temperature is down and she has completed the course of antibiotics.

We have a bit of a weird situation though. When they analysed Cath's bloods, they found that her neutrophils had not come back up - they are still 0.01. However, her overall white cell count was 4.1. The doctors say this it is rare for this to happen during treatment but not unheard of, and not to panic yet. As a precaution, they also checked her blood to make sure there were no 'naughty blood cells'. There were none there, but it is still a bit of an odd situation to have a reasonable white count (by treatment standards) and no immunity.

We need her neutrophil count to come back up as soon as possible. Please pray that her bone marrow continues to produce a healthy abundance of neutrophils.

Cath is feeling much better in herself but can't go back to school until she has a neutrophil count of at least 0.5
