We had a good and safe trip today. :)Thank you Jesus! I just worry soooo much about something happening on the highway. Has it ever? NO! But that doesn’t stop me! sigh

Calen ahd a good drs visit. He passed his exam. 🙂 His counts were:

White count 4.9 Normal 6-10 but 4.9 is good for him

Hemaglobin 13.9 Normal 11.5-13.5

Hematocrit 40.9 Normal 30-40

Platelets 295,000 Normal 160,000 – 500,000

ANC 2058 Normal 1,500 or above

(Absolute Neutrophil Count-a measure of the body’s ability to withstand infection. )

Everything looks good, this is the highest his ANC has been since he finished chemo! Too bad the germ phobia I developed while he was on treatment didn’t go down, as his ANC went up!

All in all, it was a good day, even though I had to drive in the rain. 🙁 I’m going to go treat myself to some scrapping time. 🙂
