This evening we learned my Dad's white cells dropped again and his ANC's did too. They are now in the 200s. They should be increasing, not decreasing. The doctors were concerned earlier today and moved up his biopsy to Wednesday (we think). All of this has pretty much sucker punched our family. Dad has particularly taken this hard - and why wouldn't he? I can't imagine.
They had been telling him how well he was doing and he might be going home soon and now, there's no way he's leaving with these numbers going down. That has to take the wind out of your sails when all week he's been begging to get released and find a way to go home for a while. He's worn out, tired, devastated - you name it, he's been there or is going through it.
We are hoping for any shred of good news tomorrow. Pray for us.
