Anya went in for bloodwork this morning and her ANC has gone back up into the normal range, confirming the doctors' suspicion that the problem was simply lowered counts as a result of fighting off infections, and nothing more serious.
We start Anya back on her chemo this week at about half the dosage and will have another appointment next week to make sure she is ready to go back to full strength. Her color and energy have returned throughout the week (she was looking pretty pale and fatigued over the weekend) and she is happy to be off of the steroids until next month.
We are so thankful for all the prayers and support this week. We are also again thankful to God that this delay was so short. So many children suffering from leukemia spend weeks at a time in the hospital with infections while their treatment is delayed. This week-long break in the treatment is the first delay we've experienced since we returned home in April and we were able to spend it at home with Anya in good health, despite the fact that she was essentially functioning without an immune system. Praise God for so many healthy months!
