Neupogen


Lilly's numbers finally started to come up on their own! Yay!! But, her oncologist wanted a bigger bump in numbers before we started oral chemo again and before we go on our Wish Trip. So on Wednesday and Thursday we went up to the hospital to get Neupogen shots. Not fun. Neupogen is a medication given to help boost neutrophil counts. Lilly was really worried that they were going to be like the Erwenia chemo shots, which she HATED! But, they weren't too bad. We are so grateful for nurse Aubri! "She is a professional port placer and the best shot giver EVER!" We love her! Lilly had another CBC on Friday morning and we found out her ANC went from 600 to 11,000! ELEVEN THOUSAND!! I was so shocked it was that high!!! But, her doctors were very pleased with her numbers and said her ANC will level out really quick but that she is safe to go on our trip and she will be able to start her oral chemo again soon. Yay! DISNEYWORLD, HERE WE COME!!!
