We had blood work done today and her platelets are low at 43k. We are suppose to start DI1 or Delayed Intensification I on Fri, May 8th. Her platelets are too low and need to be at 75k. Please pray for her counts to rise so we do not in cure another delay. This last phase cost her a lot of time in delays and all that does is prolong the end of this journey. Her ANC, which is her antibodies within her body that fight infection, are good for her at 1180.
Please keep Elizabeth and all the patients of A5 South in your prayers. We are doing the Butterfly Walk this weekend in Mason for Leukemia/Lymphoma. Elizabeth's team name is Liz & A5 South. She wants to walk for all the kids on the floor who can not walk for themselves. If you are around and able, come out and join us for a great day and support the research for this childhood cancer, go to the link below if you would like to see what it is all about.
