Call From Dr. K
I was in the middle of teaching this morning and my voicemail on my phone buzzed...my phone never rang. It was Dr. Kirkpatrick. His voicemail said "Hey, it's Dr. Kirkpatrick. I don't have all the stuff back on his bone marrow. I think I'll have it back early next week. What we see is it just looks reactive meaning it's just on full production of the platelets. We don't see anything like leukemia or something weird about the platelets really at this point, which is good, great. So at this point I sort of need these other studies to tell you too much more. Ok, call back with your questions and that sort of thing. Ok, bye." So obviously my first reaction was to run next door for my partner Shannon to listen to it to make sure we understood what he was saying. Then I had the lingering question 'do we still have to go in on Monday?' I called the office back. While I was on hold to speak with someone nurse Jenny was calling me on the other line. She said Dr.K doesn't need us to come back in on Monday but would like to see Zeke in 3 weeks for CBC. I scheduled his appointment for February 27th. So hopefully nothing big happens between now and then!!! As always, thank you for your prayers!!!!

Good news is always amazing! I hope you continue to get lots of it!
ReplyDeleteSteph...I've been lurking on your site since you posted it to facebook and just want to say that I've kept you, Zeke, and your entire family in my thoughts through this journey. From one mother to another, I can't imagine the fears you're facing and hope to God this all ends well. Zeke is an adorable little boy and I can tell you're an amazing mother, doing anything and everything you can for him. All my love to you!!
ReplyDeleteThis is GREAT news, Steph! Now if we can just find out what in the world is going on. But NO LEUKEMIA is a GREAT thing!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey...do me a favor. Go to your dashboard, click on "edit profile" (by your picture), put a checkmark in the box that says "show my email address" (or something like that), scroll to the bottom and click SAVE. Then, I'll be able to respond to your comments via your email address. Also, make sure you have your blog set up to receive your comments to your email address and then you can respond to people too just by hitting reply in the email. Some of your friends may not their profile set up for you to respond to them via email though. If that's the case, then they would need to do the steps I told you above.
I'm so glad you're blogging and keeping us in the loop! I LOVE IT!
