Monday, October 8, 2007 - This is great news! For days she has had zero neutrophils, and today she has an ANC (Absolute Neutrophil Count) of 30. ANC is a calculated value, so I'm not sure exactly how many neutrophils that represents, but it's a lot more than ZERO!
It means her bone marrow is starting to do its job. She needs to get to 200 to get out of the hospital... but 500, or 2,000, would be even better!
Keep up the ceremonial neutrophil dances everyone... they're working!
Day 29: Today's ANC is...

Great, great news! Move on up! We are willing it to happen -- with every ounce of prayer that we have. Love, Fran and Jenna
