We have been enjoying our time at home. This morning Malcolm had to go to the clinic for his dressing change, which went well. They also took bloodwork for a CBC and the results surprised us a bit. His hemoglobin and platelets were fairly high, as expected, at 95 and 416. However, his white cell count and ANC were low - his ANC was only 252! The doctor believes that this is a "blip" and should not persist. He is most definitely neutropenic so if he gets a fever we must rush him to hospital for IV antibiotics. However, he has been very healthy this past week so we hope and pray this continues over the long weekend!
We are very excited that Malcolm's Grandma Lee and [Great] Aunt Theresa are bringing his big brother Donovan home today from his visit to Ontario.
