Holding steady!

Mom's platelet level today was just one point off yesterday, which is good news.  She did not have to have a platelet infusion (she will only be infused when it drops below 20-- today it was 24).  She will be checked again on Monday morning before her chemo treatment.  If it is below 20, she will get an infusion.  Either way, the chemo treatment is scheduled for 11am Monday.  This treatment does not affect her blood stream, so there is no risk with low platelets.  It is directed at her central nervous system fluid (brain fluid) and will be injected into the port which was placed into her head.
Mom continues to be tired, but I think we all are!  There is just so much going on.  Her eyes are bright and she looks happy and still has no pain!  Praise the Lord.
