9:48 a.m.
Labs came back today stinky! ANC was up (good) yesterday, but has taken quite the drop (bad) today. Its 294. Also her blood sugar is high (bad). She's never had a problem with that before so they're watching it closely. It was 244 first thing this morning and 143 when they just did a finger poke. They'll re-check it again later today. Her tummy size & distention is a bit better. She weighs now 3.3 lbs less than she did Monday night, but her abdomen still measures 3 cm larger than her "norm." She is in at least until tomorrow. They'll re-draw labs then and see if they have improved. If not, she may be re-started on the IV antibiotics b/c infection can be really sneaky when you are neutropenic.
I haven't talked much about it here lately, but we are to leave in 8 days for Shelby's Make A Wish trip to Disney. Please pray that she gets "fixed up" to be able to go on her trip and be healthy!

Hello Jen...hope you don't mind that I am checking here often, as Shelby is on my mind every day. I am so hopeful that she will be able to go on her Wish trip this week. As you know, I am praying for you and your entire family.
Much love,
MAW Wish Granter, Ann
