🎗️ Ava’s Fight Update 🎗️💗
We are officially in the count-bottoming-out phase of this round of chemo. Her numbers are very low right now, but this is the part of treatment we’ve been expecting — and now we’re praying for the next step: recovery. 🙏🏼
Her latest labs:
🩸 WBC: 1.6
🩸 Hemoglobin: 9.6
🩸 Platelets: 29
🩸 ANC: 0.02
Her ANC of 0.02 means she has essentially no circulating neutrophils right now (no immune system), so she is extremely vulnerable to infection. This is why these days are such a critical part of each chemo cycle and why she is being watched so closely.
BUTTT!!! Her doctors expect her counts to start recovering sometime next week. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
So right now, we’re waiting for that first little rise. That first sign that Ava’s bone marrow is waking back up and making the cells she needs again.
The numbers may look scary, but this is part of the process we’ve been preparing for. Her body has been through another incredibly intense round of chemo, and now we’re waiting for her to rebuild.
Please keep our girl in your prayers as we get through these next few days. 🙏🏼🎗️
Come on, Ava. We’re ready for those counts to COME UP! 💪🏼💗
She also spent some much needed time with family today 🥰🥰❤️
