A small request... please

I have a small request and it won't take up much of your time.

Now that Emmah's spirit has left her physical body behind and has completed it's journey "home" I would very much like if you could all take a moment and reflect on Emmah... whether you knew her personally or not. Let us know how she touched/affected or made a difference in your life.

I especially would like to hear from those of you who know/knew her, what your fondest memory or memories of her are. Funny stories and what you remember her likes and dislikes to be (no matter what they are) and what word/words you would use to describe her.

In order to keep all of those thoughts in one place, please, please use this link only for this purpose only.

Thank-you

WBC WBC...

where for art thou WBC?

We are in search of the great White Blood Cell.

Emmah's counts are rising like low tide. Her hemoglobin seems to be "holding" and her platelets are sluggish to stabilize, but her WBC is being downright stubborn and sloth like.

Home nurse drew labs today and we're heading on in tomorrow for platelets. RBC - 10.5... Platelets - 15... and WBC a whopping 0.7.

Her WBC on Wednesday last week was .4. Then it dipped to .2 on Thursday only to "rebound" to .4 on Friday. At this rate she might be at 1.5 by Thanksgiving... but only if we're lucky.

I hope that this slow recovery has more to do with the fact that she really hadn't even begun to recover from radiation before we started this last round of chemotherapy.
