Today we went to our second visit with the girls' hematologist. We were very encouraged by their blood counts and by what the doctor had to say. Anna's neutrophil count is up to 610 and Kate's is up to 800. Both are above the 500 mark - which is the cutoff for severely neutropenic. Although we still have to take them to the ER at Children's if they are running any sort of a fever, the doctor did clear us to go down to Florida in July and also said we can start attending church! The very best news of the day was when he told us he is pretty sure that this is something they will grow out of after awhile!! They will still have to be monitored by him every 6-8 weeks, but we are very hopeful that within the next 6 months or so, they will no longer be neutropenic!
As a side note, the girls were pretty much horendous at the doctor's office and I am so thankful that Melissa was there to help me...those little stinkers!
