jaimee has been feeling really tired and her joints have been hurting her...last week she had to take medicine for the pain but is doing fine now...
today we went to COH for an unscheduled blood test, jaimee thought her counts were down and might need a transfusion but to our surprise her count went up by .4 which means no blood today...jaimee was hoping for a transfusion so she wont be so tired for the festivities on new years eve and new years day, hopefully she'll feel fine...
jaimee is still on the low side and may still need a transfusion when we check into the hospital on friday...this will be jaimee's 4th treatment...we're almost half way there...wooohooo...
jaimee is off of her diet this week and is having a great time eating everything with shoyu...
we wish everyone a safe and happy new year...
love...jaimee, tay, bryce, and jodee ; )

counts are down
jaimee came back from the hospital last sunday night with a low red blood cell count and had to receive a transfusion last tuesday night...its amazing how a little blood gives her more energy...nancy...sorry we missed you at clinic, we were there from 4pm - 9:45pm...
on friday the 19th all of jaimee's counts were at their low...hopefully the neulasta shot she received today will help bring up her white cell count...
jaimee goes back into the hospital on january 2, 2009 for round four of chemo...we're almost half way there...wooohooo...

Update
Hi Everyone...
Jaimee had a PET scan appointment at 6am last Friday but was unble to go through with it because her glucose count was way to high...Finally last tuesday Jaimee's count was good enough to take her scan and today we received the results...
Dr. Aremian said the lumps went down which is great but because of the Neulasta shot (builds up the white count) Jaimee's WBC was at 71000 which makes it look like she has leukemia in her bone marrow which freaks out the nurses...Dr. Armenian assured us that it's probably the Neulasta that is making the results look bad and we'll have to take another PET scan after two more rounds of chemotherapy...He will lower her dose of Neulasta by 50% and if her count is still to high he may have to take her off of Neulasta before her next scan...
No room in the Pediactric ward this morning :( which was ok cuz we got to give Jai her last good meal (back home) before she checks into the hospital tonight...hopefully the all you can eat sushi digests (cooked) before she gets sick from the chemo, we don't want all that seafood coming back up :0
Jaimee is responding well to her therapy and we will continue with the same treatment with the exception of Neulasta...WoooHooo...
Hopefully Jaimee will be checking out of the Hospital on Monday...
