Session 4 (2b) went off without a hitch. Thanks for your prayers. The white blood cell count was actually slightly above normal - which is much better than below normal. In addition to Ingrid and myself, visitors included Mark the Boyfriend who took the day off from his summer job to be with Judith during the whole time of her treatment, Mark her brother, who came in his lunch hour, and our former neighbour, Moira.
Towards the end of the proceedings, Judith commented to Mark D about a picture in a magazine she was reading, "Courteney Cox really doesn't look 42." The nurse sitting at a nearby work station overheard the comment and asked, "So what does 42 look like?" Even after a lot of drilling with an expanded audience of amused nurses, Judith declined to answer the question... I think they quite enjoy having a teenager in the ward.
This morning Maureen, the home nurse, was at our place at 8:00am to give Judith her "day after" injection.
