Still down

Malcolm's ANC is still zero. It must be 500 or greater to leave so likely at least another couple of days in here. The lab and the pathologist took a close look at his blood sample this morning and determined that there are some neutros (the N in ANC) that are just forming and so are too tiny to be counted yet but it shows that they are starting to develop. This is reassuring. His next round is scheduled to begin next Wednesday (assuming his ANC is up to 1000) so we may not have much time at home. His platelets are still above 400 and his hemoglobin is 94.
