Things have been going pretty well. This last steroid course was a rough one, but it’s ended and Serenity’s gone several months without any fevers or bad illness. She has complained of leg pain quite a bit, but the NP at our last clinic visit printed out her growth charts and said it’s probably growing pains because she has been growing.
She had a CBC this morning to check counts and we are waiting for the results. When the nurse took her temp it was 100, so I’m keeping an eye on it. When it climbs to 101 the clinic generally has us come in to check her counts. I’m glad we had a blood draw today already. Hopefully her ANC will be 500 or more. If that’s the case I don’t think we’ll have to go in even if her temperature does rise.
It would be a bad time for a hospital stay. Phil’s out of town for a week and I’m already a little overwhelmed with him gone.
I’ve always enjoyed reading your blog, but I’m glad there’s no need of more updates!! Every time my kids complain of leg pain, I freak out just a bit, even though I have no reason to do so. I can’t imagine how stressful normal aches/pains must be for you! Keeping fingers crossed for good results!
Hoping everything is alright and it’s just the freaky weather throwing her off.
