Neutropenia

Neutropenia is an abnormally low level of neutrophils, a common type of white blood cell to cancel infections. Mom is in-patient again because of neutropenia. Her white blood count "was not measurable." The hospitalist just told me Mom has 300 where 10,000 is normal.  But he also added there are a fair number of young (or immature) white cells, so it looks like the bone marrow is trying to manufacture them and hope tomorrow's counts improve.

(If I thought yesterday sucked, today was... I don't have the words.) 

Sorry, visitors are not advised. She is very immuno-compromised; I have to wear a mask too.
