A pleasant surprise happened this morning -- Nadine's neutrophil count zoomed up to an acceptable level, and the bone marrow biopsy was cancelled. She received her chemo -- 3 weeks late, but she got it!!! Who'd have thought we'd be going "Yay" to her getting that stuff again? If the next cycle leads to more delays, she'll have the bone marrow test, but it's likely it was a one-time "fluke"-- lots of hope. Her antibiotic was changed, just in case that did it -- we may never know the cause.
We're in celebration mode. It was an excellent time for it, as we had dinner with the Klassens commemorating Nadine's friend Sylvia's departure for college tomorrow. Root-beer floats for dessert. i'm worn and happy at once.
I'm in awe of the support and affirmation I've received from my friends during all of this.
Off to bed -- I'm still tired, and relieved. I know that more bumps can occur later on, but i'm not letting that keep me from enjoying the nice stuff when it happens.
