No Treatment for A While

Makenzie's counts have been too low the past two Tuesdays to receive Chemo. She will be gone at Camp next week... so she will have had 3 missed treatments. She is either fighting off a virus or 2.5 years worth of chemo are finally starting to take their toll on her bone marrow. She had her counts checked again today and they appear to be on their way back up. Hopefully, after camp, her counts will be up and she will be able to resume weekly treatments. She has done so well for so long we had gotten a bit spoiled. Most patients do have some delays in their treatments because of low counts. Low counts basically just means she does not have enough white blood cells to fight off disease... so she can't have more chemo until they recover enough. She is excited for camp... she loves camp. Pray for her counts to go back up and her immune system to be strong. We will post pics and details of camp later.
