Delayed
Drats, all of our expectations of being done today were dashed because my white blood cell count was too low. Dr. Basche knew how ready I was to be done, but the risk of doing the last infusion today would mean that my ability to fight off infection could land me in the hospital. So, the solution was to give me a shot in my stomach of a drug that will boost those counts fast, and I can come in tomorrow for the last treatment — as long as the counts are good. It's just one more day, so I'm okay with that, except all of our infusion-room friends were there today, and won't be tomorrow. Meantime, I'm very tired and weak so I plan to sleep the afternoon away. I'll post again soon.

Deb,
I really hope that today is the day for your final treatment. Keep up that great attitude and inner strength. I'll be thinking of you and sending prayers your way.

What a battle!! And how courageous you have been. There are no words to express what we have felt as we have followed your journey, agonized over your bad days, shed some tears over the enormous struggle, yet smiled with you when you have found hope to follow this journey all the way. Bless you, Debbie, and your wonderful Doug, Andi, and Tori.
Jo and Wade
