What a long day! Thank you so much for the prayers!! I finally heard from Dr. Libby around 4:00 this afternoon. He said nothing in Brooke's blood tests revealed signs of cancer. PRAISE THE LORD and a H-U-G-E sigh of relief!! He stated that her red blood cells are normal as are her platelets, but that she is severely, severely neutropenic. He told us to continue to be very cautious with her. She is not anemic right now, which is good. Her kidneys are ok, her liver is ok, there are no signs of lupus or rhematoid arthritis. The next step is for Dr. Libby to set up a CT scan in Clovis, which he said he will work on in the morning. I told him as long as he worked closely with PRMC on how to sedate her and what to use for the sedation- we are ok with it being done here. Anything that saves us from having to make the 4-hour trip to UNM! He still has to figure out what is making the spleen big and why the neutrophil levels are so low. He said he will also be checking her for mono.
We are thankful for the continued support from all of you and the prayers going up in Brooke's behalf. Please keep them coming!
