Yesterday the nurse came and Zachary weighed in at...
13 lbs and 6 oz!!!!
Can you believe that? He gained 13 oz in one week!!! Way to grow little man!!!
That afternoon I called the oncologist to get his blood results. I asked the nurse to have him call me back to discuss long term plans. Well I of course missed his call but he left me the most wonderful message...
Jennifer Zachary's WBC was 14K and he has been very stable for a while now. All his other counts look great except his monocytes were a bit elevated at 22%. So I think we can now go to monthly counts and if we do monthly we can REMOVE HIS LINE. I am out of the office on Friday so give me a call Monday and we can set this up!
Yep that's right folks, the broviac line will soon be a thing of the past and let's just hope and pray we never have to see it again! Zachary will just get monthly blood counts done and it will be via a finger stick or heel prick. After all he has been through, this is nothing for him!
I feel like I'm in a dream and part of me is waiting for bad news to come back, but I can't do that and I won't do that. I will celebrate the good!!!!
