I took Jethenro to the clinic fully expecting to begin the next phase of chemo today. His blood was drawn and whisked off to the lab for analysis. Everyone was shocked when the results came back. His defenses are too low to begin the chemo! Evidently he has been battling a virus or allergies that have driven his white blood cell counts down, and the result is to wait until his body defenses are back to normal. So, we wiped the emlacreme {~a lidocaine based creme that numbs the area where they do lumbar punctures} off his back, and got an appointment for next week to try again.
Another unexpected delay in treatment.
That is why we take one day at a time~with Jesus
