We are in isolation starting yesterday. I now must eat a neutropenic, clean diet, as I'm at greater risk for infection. Xavier brought my bucket of food yesterday. I'll eat it. It's not too bad. Basically, you just add hot water to the meals! Dave can also cook if he makes proper things.
Today the doctors made house calls to take our vitals, draw our blood, and to give another Filgrastim injection. We also get to go to the clinic to have a hematology consult. We met with the doctors, and found out our lab results.🏥
I'm in neutropenia!! They said all of my numbers are going down! My WBC count I think was 3,200. My platelets are low. This is to be expected! They will continue to go down.
We will have another blood draw and go to the clinic on Thursday. In the meantime, we're in isolation. We can go outside, but must wear masks and avoid crowded areas!
We're just reading, sleeping, watching movies, writing on the computer. We do have a little deck off our living room which has spectacular views and sunsets with the volcano🌋
I'm thankful that we only have to drink 2 liters per day, instead of 3! That means I'm not up every hour peeing! Haha! These things become important! Like a good night's sleep!😴
The good news is that I feel good, I have a good appetite, and I haven't lost my hair yet!!
Love you mom and dad!
