Chemo Round 2 - DONE!!

Well, Carrie was able to complete Round 2 of infusion therapy. She returned to Birmingham monday afternoon for her delayed treatment from Thursday. They did blood work and her white blood count had come up just slightly, but since it was on its way up, they were able to go ahead with the remainder of her treatment as planned. She had her last treatment for this round today and everything went fairly well. From her blood work Monday, however, her RED blood count was really low. They talked to Carrie's oncologist and it wasn't low enough to require a blood transfusion. Instead, they gave her a shot after she finished today that will help rebuild some of the red blood cells. They usually give that shot every two weeks, but she will go to her local doctor here in Auburn next week to check her blood work and see if she needs another. For now, she's a little tired and worn out, but she's home resting and otherwise doing great! And as always, thanks to everyone for the continued thoughts and prayers.
