I've made it to Friday of this second week. It has been an up and down week. My counts were too low to go to school. I was exhausted and needed to stay home to rest. I received shots everyday. My hemoglobin was up and down...almost to the point of needing a blood transfusion. My platelets dropped down to double digits, when they should be above 140 or so.
Today's blood test had pretty good results. My white blood count has really come up quite a bit; even so I need to get shots over the weekend. Peg just wants to make sure it gets up high enough before my next week of chemo. My hemoglobin still isn't where it should be, so I just need to take it easy this weekend. Platelets are still low; hopefully they will start to come up over the weekend.
Even though it has been an up and down week, I have kept in mind that God is in control. He knows what my counts are going to be before the blood is even pulled from my body. Isn't that amazing? God knows every thought in our minds, every step we are going to take, and everything that is going to happen to us. He is an amazing and powerful God. I am so thankful that I do not have to worry about my life. He has me in the palm of his hand.
Psalm 103: 2 "Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits"
