Well...after seeing doctor's every day except for Sunday...I thought today would be our last visit for the week. Wrong. Saw the Hematologist today and he ordered the GCSF shot, which requires insurance approval, so we go back tomorrow morning to get the shot. MAYBE. UNM had left me a voicemail saying that they were really pushing Denver to see us in the next week or so and if that plays out, she can't have the shot. They need to see the blood in its normal state. So I called our nurse in Albq. and left her a message stating that Brooke is scheduled to get the shot at 10:30 manana so I need to know something by then. Hope she checked her messages! Not sure what tomorrow will hold?
Brooke had a great day with nanny. Have I mentioned lately how thankful we are to have her and ma and papa? We couldn't do this without the help and support from our family!! Brooke was happy and playful all day and is eating much better; however, she is pale and washed out looking. I'm sure she's a little anemic. When the blood levels get thin, bleeding is common and she spot bleeds which doesn't help matters. She also has several bruises that we're closely watching. The Hematologist lowered her Coumadin dose to 4 Mb through Monday and ordered an INR check for Tuesday. We're beginning to look like a Coumadin factory with our 2.5's, 5's and now 4's. So thankful the manufacturers color code the pills!
Thank you all for the continued prayers and words of encouragement. We are truly seeing and feeling the effects of your prayers. Please keep them coming our way. We serve an awesome and compassionate God...and when we hurt - He hurts. We are so thankful to have our Faith!!!
