Today's milestones: Chemotherapy is finished and her blood results showed 0.0 WBC's and 2% blasts! I haven't been able to talk to Courtney yet this morning, but I received the following from her sister, Susan:
Corky is asleep-- it was a long night with lots of folks checking in on her. Her
temp went back to normal by 10PM, she finally received her platelets, but around
3AM she was starting to feel sick. Thank goodness for medicine! She was still running a close to normal temp until about 8:30 this morning, but after getting up, it went back up to 102. She's taken meds and tylenol to get it back down and is now resting.Now for the drum roll please....Her WBC are 0.0! Blasts are at 2%. They unhooked her from her last bag of chemo last night at 1:50am and it did its stuff! We did a quiet "woohoo!" last night and this morning when we saw her counts. The good news: it's working. The bad: she is probably going to feel crummy for a while.
Another important milestone for today is Aidan's 2nd birthday! Hopefully we'll get a chance to have a small celebration at the hospital tomorrow. I know this must be especially difficult for Courtney to not be home today. But, rest assured, we will make up for missed parties when she gets home!

I received an email from a friend requesting prayer for your family. That email contained a link to this blog. I don't know you or your family, but I can guarantee that you will be lifted up in prayer daily - not only in my house, but in the homes of EVERY brother and sister in Christ who is notified as well. Reading your blog updates has touched my heart, made me cry, made me laugh and finally made me CHEER OUT LOUD with yesterday's news!!!! Courtney - you sound like a spunky little thing.... this leukemia's got nothing on you honey! :o)
Happy Birthday Aidan!
Love in Christ,
The newest member of Courtney's Angels!
