The Chemo is doing its job. And its also making Kenzie not feel good at all. She is getting another stronger Chemo treatment today that lasts 2 hours (the first treatment the other day was only 15 minutes).
Because Chemo cant tell which cells are bad and which ones are good... It just kills them all. Thats why patients lose there hair and there mouths turn white. But with that, her red blood cells and platlets are dying off as well as the Leukemia cells.
So as of 6am this morning, her Leukemia was at 18% which is really good. On Surgery day her Leukemia was at 26%. So thats been pretty much the only good thing to happen thus far.
Her red blood cells have been steadily dropping. It got as high as 10.4 but dropped to 7.1 yesterday, and then dropped again this morning to 5.1 Then her platlets got as high as 86, then dropped to 51, 28, and then this morning dropped all the way to 8.
So today, after her Chemo treatment, she will have to do more Platlet and Hemoglobin transfusion. They will have to test her again tonight to see if shes keeping them. If not, more transfusions tomorrow.
I will keep everyone as up to date as possible. But today and the next two days are probably going to be very tough for Kenz.
Sweet baby girl :( she's n my prayers as are you

ReplyDeleteThis is so depressing, no parent should have to go through this with their children.
