Jerek’s hemoglobin and platelets reached their lowest point in this round on December 20th. He needed both blood and platelets that day, as we expected. The headache and nausea improved with time and the only issue he was really facing at this point was fatigue. On Christmas Eve, his counts were up from the transfusions he had received the Thursday before. Therefore, he only had to get chemo that day. His counts were actually so good that they let him have Thursday off. He didn’t feel bad, but his neutrophils were low, so we stayed home from the Christmas get together that night. It was too much of a risk for him to be around so many people. We did have the kids home with us Christmas Eve night so they could wake up at home on Christmas morning. They had a great Christmas and we enjoyed the time with them. On Monday, Jerek’s neutrophils had come back up to normal and his platelets were still up as well. His hemoglobin had dropped, but was not low enough to need blood. When he went back today, his hemoglobin was a little bit lower than it was on Monday. He didn’t have to get blood, but we thought it would be best to get one unit to make sure it didn’t get too low over the weekend. His other numbers were about the same as they were on Monday. He will go back next week for lab checks and is scheduled to have another bone marrow biopsy on the 14th. We are confident this will show that he is still in remission. As soon as his counts have fully recovered, he will begin the maintenance phase. We appreciate the continued prayers and support and hope everyone had a wonderful New Year.
