Naomi's parents met with the nurse practitioner this morning and it's all good news! God has blessed Naomi!
1) Naomi's blood counts are way up. Her hemoglobin is at 14.6, which means she does NOT need another blood transfusion.
2) Her platelets are average, but better than they were at her last transfusion.
3) Her white blood count is up.
4) Her neutroblasts are 492.7, which means she has a lower chance for infection. Normal is over 1,500. She was at 240 at diagnosis.
5) Her bone marrow test revealed that her blast (immature white blood cells) percentage is down from 94% to 46%. Normal is less than 5%. The doctors were hoping for a single digit percentage of blasts in her bone marrow. But it's significantly better.
6) MOST IMPORANTLY, the chromosome test from St. Jude's Children's Hospital came in. According to that test Naomi is officially categorized as low risk for a Leukemia relapse! The base line number for low risk needs to be over 50, and Naomi is 204!
Thanks to these positive results, Naomi can go home for a few days! She returns to the hospital again on Friday for more blood tests. This coming Monday she will have another spinal tap and bone marrow test to see if there has been any further improvement.
Thank you to everyone for all your prayers!
