Tues the 8th

Well we headed over to Medford to get chemo this morn but after getting her blood drawn from her port the doctor said that her white cells were to low to do anything. She was really upset because they hate for us to drive all that way and then not do anything but she really didn't expect the blood to go down again after it had been coming back up on Friday of last week. She actually thought about trying to get the spinal done today but she knew that it would be hard to get set up at such short notice and she was kinda afraid of doing it with the cell count but she wanted to do something. lol Soooo... now chemo and spinal will happen next week. But tomorrow and Friday Jess is set up to go get her blood drawn up at Sky Lakes to make sure on the white count because if it gets any lower she will have to get the two shots to bump up the count and to tell you the truth you can see that they really don't want to give it to her unless they really have to. It was funny cause all the chemo nurses were like "where you going?" "why aren't you getting treatment?" "you're not really going home now are you?" lol they treat her like a little queen of the center and I know it is because of her age but it makes me smile cause I can see that Jess really likes them and vice versa. The one nurse told us that after Jess goes to Portland and they get the results and new prodical that they ALL (like around 10 - 12 I have noticed) have a meeting with her doctor in Medford and speaker phone with her doctor in Portland to go over everything cause they don't even carry her type of chemo and they have to special order everything cause it is all pediatric. So I've rambled on enough for tonight. I will let you all know how her blood is tomorrow. Please keep her in your prayers! Love, Cindi
