11/12/08 - Tomorrow is a Go

We had the home health nurse come today to check if Brinley's counts were good enough to start Interim Maintenance, and they all looked good. Her ANC is 1700, lower than last week but still great. The only thing that was low was her hematocrit again, still hanging on at 26, not low enough to transfuse unless she is pale and low energy, which she isn't. I was also informed that she will NOT need the lumbar puncture tomorrow so she won't have to fast or be sedated. That was great news. She will just get the vincristine and methotrexate in her line. I'll post more tomorrow after clinic.
