A Boost for Jim's Immune System
Jim had blood drawn Monday and hemoglobin OK, but neutrophils even lower at 195 (normal=1700-5400). Nurse practitioner called from NIH when he got the report and said the doctor wants to start Jim on Neulasta which is a longer lasting Neupogen-type drug which will raise the neutrophils. So tomorrow we will go for his reevaluation at NIH and he'll get the shot then. Barbara

Oh, Jim and Barbara, we are so hoping for the news to start improving, and maybe this new drug will be the answer. Let us know how it goes tomorrow, lots of prayers. Love, Carol and Fred
