Today's Visit with Dr. B

We had our follow up with Dr. B today and we found out that her hemoglobin in going up we are now at 9.5 so that is a step in the right direction. Her neutrophil (if the machine is accurate) was at 1300 but because of past experiences we are not to confident in that number. I dont think I posted about what happened with that. June 2 they drew her blood and told us that her ANC (absolute neutrophil count) was 2300 and they ordered a manual differential (another blood test where a person actually reads the same blood) only to find that her ANC was 107. Yes you read that right 107!!! Thus resulting in her hospital stay. So you can understand why we are hestiant to believe that number. We didnt get anymore information than that today. We are scheduling an appt with our Peds dr. to discuss what information we are not getting from Dr. B and hopefully can resolve some of our concerns. We have quite a few and are getting conflicting replies. When we know more we will let you know.
