Well, we had to put mom in Kennestone today because she went in for her week-after-chemo checkup and they ran tests on her blood and discovered that her white cell count is really really low. So to keep her from getting sick and not be able to fight it off, they are admitting her as a health precaution. Dr. Mccune says she should be there for 2-3 days and by then, they should have her white cells back at a reasonable level. They give her a shot of something called Neulasta and it helps kick her white cells into gear and gets them back up. That usually takes a few days so thats why she will be there until then.
Because she is so vulnerable to sickness and infection, we ask that you hold off on visiting her until she is back to normal white cell levels.
