Counts are rising!

Jackson's counts on Friday (the 16th) looked better here is a run down:
HCT went from 35.8 to 36.4 in the normal range
PLT went from 376,000 to 629,000 now way ABOVE the normal range but the nurse assured me that when Platelets get low a sign of healthy bone marrow is that it overproduces and they sometimes get to high, they should settle back in the normal range soon.
WBC went from 2.0 to 2.9 normal is 5.0 to 12.0
ANC went from 800 to 1305 normal is 1800 to 7500

Thanks for the prayers. Chemo is next week---(sigh) Wednesday through Saturday.

So glad those counts came up!!! We prayed all last week for them to come up and 2 nights ago as I knelt down to pray with Louden he says, "how 'bout Jackson feel better", so sweet! We'll be praying this week for no side affects.
