Hello friends,
Naomi's got the flu, but is on anti-biotics to fight it. Her blood count is down to a dangerously low 10, yes TEN, at the moment (see this previous blog for details on ANC: http://naomiheal.blogspot.com/2007/02/naomi-update.html and this wiki on Neutropenia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutropenia). It essentially means that her body has no ability to fight off infections. Please continue to pray for her, specifically that her ANC rises above 500 so that her chemotherapy treatments can resume. 500 is the minimum for her to receive chemotherapy. 2,000 is normal.
Although Naomi appears to be healthy (she's eating decently, has good energy, and isn't coughing or sneezing much), the fact is that exposure to the slightest infection could be serious. Please refrain from any visiting at this time. She can not be exposed to any type of infectious droplets from other people.
Thank you and bless you all!
Victoria
