Week 8(and a half) Update

My apologies for the delayed post. The delay, in part, was due to the fact there is really nothing new to report. Chelsea completed her second round of chemo treatment and her ANC has dropped below 200, meaning that she is neutraphenic and is confined to her room(except for one hour of playtime per day in the playroom). It is not bad though, in comparsion to her first stay, where she spent a majority of the days hooked on an IV stand getting fluids or antibiotics because of flu and pneumonia. Thus far, she is feeling great this time around, which allows for a good part of her day free to roam her room.

We are just waiting for Chelsea and her ANC count to recover from the chemo. Hopefully, no infections this time around and she can be home in a couple of weeks.

Take care and enjoy the rest of weekend!

  1. You forgot to add that she is as feisty as ever, fighting her brother when he takes her monopoly pieces away from her! And you forgot to add that she is still ridiculously edible, as is Chris! Tell Chris that Timmy and I think he's ANNOYING!!! :)

  2. So glad Chelsea's responding to the second round of treatment better than the first. I'm sure you're all counting the days to her coming home again. Thanks for keeping us posted.

  3. Hi Guys!
    Glad to hear that she is responding well and that she is not "hooked up" as much. Hope that all ofyou are feeling ok, and that Harvey is doing well with his treatment.
    Much love,
    Tracy
