Update from Glen

Diana was not able to get her infusion today. Her white blood cell counts were OK, but her platelet count was too low. They want her to be at or above 100 and she was at 54. It is not so low that they would do a platelet transfusion, which is the only way to bring the platelet counts up other than waiting, but low enough that they didn’t want to proceed. 

Since her her blood counts were OK, she won't need to get Zarxio injections next week. She'll rest this week and hopefully be able to resume treatment next Friday if her platelet and white blood cell counts stay up. On the plus side, she'll have a little more energy to celebrate Hannah’s birthday on Monday. Her oncologist was out of town this week and unable to talk with him directly so we'll wait until next week to better understand what this all means for her overall treatment plan. 

Thank you for the prayers and support. Our family has been blessed by so many wonderful people!
