Team Maggie Day +70

It was clinic day again today, September 30th. Here's the latest update.

Hi everyone! Mags had clinic today. Her hemoglobin and platelets were good however her white cells are low yet again. She was just barely over the level where she gets g-csf but will most likely need another shot on Thursday. the shots are awful and cause so much anxiety for Maggie. I'm really hoping her white cells will start being happier and multiplying soon.

The other bit of bad news is that her culture came back positive for c-diff again. Ugh. I hate c-diff!!! So she is on oral vancomycin again and it makes her gag and throw up it tastes so bad. She has to take it for a month and the first week she takes it 4 times a day. Then 3 times a day for a week and so on. If she is still having a hard time with it tomorrow they may try the other med but it's not as effective and apparently still quite gross. Very frustrating. She's on so many meds right now I feel like I'm constantly arguing with her over taking meds.

She did have a fun afternoon as some of our friends from Maine came to visit. She loved being able to play with her friend Sophie and it made our day so much better!

Please pray that her white cells will improve on their own without another shot and that the c-diff will go away once and for all with this antibiotic course. Thanks everyone and our love to you all!
