ANC up a bit

Doug has an upper respiratory infection with bad cough. It came on over the weekend. Thankfully, he got a spot on the clinic schedule yesterday. Our favorite nurse practitioner  started him on antibiotics and a strong cough syrup. He does not have a fever and his lungs are clear. Could be a lot worse.

We went today for Doug's CBC. Results are good - his ANC is up to 1.7 (last time was 1.4). Looks like his body is mounting a response to the cold. Very encouraging. And his next blood draw will be in four weeks instead of two - yea!

Our weather has been very cold with some high winds, so we have mostly been homebodies lately. We have not got much snow at all - just enough to broom off the walks. If we do get snow, I doubt anyone will complain - we sure need the moisture.

Love to all.
