Today Morgan went to school in the morning and got her locker for the year. Then she headed in to Children's in anticipation of starting chemo today. She got her bloodwork done when they arrived and got prepped. When the bloodwork results returned, we discovered that her platelet count ( that is the part of the blood that enables it to clot.) was still far to low to start her chemo today. So they came back home. Her white blood cell count is the one that allows her to fight off infection, is great.
On a positive note, Morgan's spirits are way up and she has really enjoyed going to the high school these past few days. I think the fear of the unknown is gone and she feels more positive about high school. The social aspect and feeling disconnected from friends is something we can continue to work at while she is on treatment and she will gradually be able to pick back up socially with friends and even make new friends once she returns in January.
Tomorrow morning she will go for bloodwork in Delta and then she will head off for a full day of school. We should get the results for her bloodwork late morning and if her counts are up, we will pull her out of school and take her in to start her chemo.
