The oncologist called this evening after reviewing Julia's weekly labs...
They are happy with the progress from her blood transfusion. Her red blood cell levels look good. Her white blood counts are holding around the same. They are not concerned about the high lymphocyte number. It is a percentage of the concentration in her total white blood count. Because she is neutropenic, her neutrophils are very low, therefore the other percentages have to increase in order to make up the difference in the total value.
Her ANC has gone down to 640 (500 is the 'danger zone', 1000 is 'free to participate in any activity without precautions'). We still have the go ahead to travel, but they want us to be very careful, limit her contact, disinfect surfaces, and avoid everyone who has been or is ill, or recently vaccinated. Please pray for protection from illness for all of us, especially these next two weeks.
